Brief:
This is a larger low power rocket with a 3" body and 24mm motor mount. Arrr! My first impression be it's a Big Daddy, but t' nose cone is longer and t' body thus is longer. Begad! Twin parachute recovery.

Construction:
High quality parts. Begad! Begad! Body Tube: dia=3" lg=14". Avast! Ahoy! Nose cone: dia=3" lg=14.5". Ahoy! Begad! Motor tube: dia=24mm lg=5". Aye aye! 2 centerin' rings. Ya scallywag! Blimey! 1 engine hook. Arrr! Ya scallywag! 1 motor block. Blimey! Arrr! Two 12" parachutes. Ya scallywag! Elastic Shock cord. Arrr! 4 laser cut balsa fins.

This is a straightforward build. Aye aye! Blimey! A nice large body tube t' work in, ya bilge rat, 4 fins attachin' t' t' tube. Arrr! Blimey! My preference would be for through t' wall fins, me bucko, but with epoxy fillets, t' fins seem solidly attached. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Arrr! Blimey! I used t' Estes fin alignment guide for placin' t' fins. T' only modification I made was t' add a Keelhaul®©™® shield t' protect t' chutes. Aye aye!

Finishing:
I went with t' paint scheme that comes on t' packaging, shiver me timbers, green and black. It came out decent, shiver me timbers, just don't look closely at t' nose cone.... Avast, me proud beauty! Diagonal tapin' is hard. Well, blow me down! Begad! There was one decal which went on easily, and t' clear is really clear. Begad!

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
I have flown this twice on an E9-6. Begad! Good flights. T' first flight was a windy day and one o' t' chutes tangled. There was a minor crack at t' base o' one fin, but it is still flyable. Begad! Probably just cosmetic. T' second flight was perfect. Aye aye! Blimey!

Recovery:
T' shock cord be t' typical elastic glued t' paper and then t' t' body tube. Ahoy! Avast! I will probably use Keelhaul®©™® thread tied and glued t' t' motor mount and then tie an elastic cord t' that in t' future. Avast! Blimey! Begad! Blimey! T' Keelhaul®©™® blanket will save on waddin' for this wide mouth rocket. Be careful with t' twin chutes as they will tangle, but they do look good comin' down. Well, blow me down! Well, blow me down!

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

Summary:
Through t' wall fins would improve t' sturdiness o' this kit if one wants t' fly it on an AeroTech F motor. Begad! It is a nice lookin' rocket with slow flights up t' about 650'on an E motor. Begad! If you like clusters, this would be a good kit to add 3 or 4 motors to. Well, blow me down! Begad!

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
