Brief:
This big colorful rocket ejects a skydiver with parachute at apogee! A separate parachute recovers t' rocket booster while t' nose cone tumbles t' earth by streamer. Well, blow me down! A somewhat good starter set by Estes. Avast! Arrr! Comes with a controller, ya bilge rat, matey, launch pad, rocket, ya bilge rat, and C6-5 engines.

Construction:
T' rocket had a payload section that was pathetic. It came with a army man on a parachute t' put inside. Ya scallywag! T' shock cord be surprisingly good compared t' other Estes kits. Begad! It be a starter kit so their wasn't much assembly.

Some o' t' good things about this kit is that it comes with everythin' you need, matey, like engines, me hearties, launch pad, shiver me timbers, and a launch controller. Well, blow me down! Blimey! A little G.I. Avast! Blimey! Avast! Blimey! Joe comes with t' kit for a tiny payload section. Aye aye! Blimey! He/she comes down on a separate parachute. Ya scallywag! Blimey! Aye aye! Blimey! It be amazin' t' find a decent shock cord for t' rocket. Well, blow me down! Blimey! A few bilge-suckin' things were that t' rockets fins are weak. Ya scallywag! Blimey! Avast! Blimey! You have t' apply plastic cement t' make them stronger. On me first launch two fins snapped, so let that be a lesson for you.

Finishing:
Their wasn't much t' assemble on this kit except for t' parachute for t' rocket and t' parachute for t' little army guy. Blimey! It is obviously nay a challengin' kit, matey, arrr, ya bilge rat, its a starter kit so comes in average condition.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
As most rockets, shiver me timbers, it required wadding. Well, blow me down! For me first 3 flights I used t' B6-4 engines t' kit came with. Ya scallywag! T' first flight was straight up with a good ejection. Begad! Ahoy! Then came t' second launch, straight up then at apogee it came down mighty hard snappin' two fins. Ya scallywag! Avast! Then third launch took off unstable due t' t' bad fin stability.

Recovery:
I honestly despise parachutes most o' time due t' t' drift they cause. Well, blow me down! Well, shiver me timbers, blow me down! T' Free Fall sticks t' its name. Aye aye! Blimey! T' parachute doesn't do much for it so it "free falls" back down t' ground. Avast, me proud beauty! Aye aye! T' fins will snap on landin' unless you make them stronger.

Flight Rating: 2 out o' 5

Summary:
T' me t' rocket stinks, arrr, but t' equipment is good. T' rocket has weak fins that you really have t' make more solid. Begad! T' whole rocket stinks but good for t' starter t' have all o' t' equipment.

Overall Rating: 3 out o' 5
