Brief:
This big colorful rocket ejects a skydiver with parachute at apogee! Blimey! A separate parachute recovers t' rocket booster while t' nose cone tumbles t' earth by streamer. Ahoy! Blimey! Aye aye! Blimey! A somewhat good starter set by Estes. Avast! Blimey! Comes with a controller, launch pad, rocket, and C6-5 engines.

Construction:
T' rocket had a payload section that be pathetic. Ya scallywag! Begad! It came with a army man on a parachute t' put inside. T' shock cord be surprisingly good compared t' other Estes kits. Avast! 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, launch pad, shiver me timbers, and a launch controller. Blimey! A little G.I. Begad! Joe comes with t' kit for a tiny payload section. Well, blow me down! He/she comes down on a separate parachute. It be amazin' t' find a decent shock cord for t' rocket. A few bilge-suckin' things were that t' rockets fins are weak. You have t' apply plastic cement t' make them stronger. Blimey! Well, blow me down! On me first launch two fins snapped, me hearties, shiver me timbers, me hearties, 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. It is obviously nay a challengin' kit, me hearties, ya bilge rat, its a starter kit so comes in average condition.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

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

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

Flight Rating: 2 out o' 5

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

Overall Rating: 3 out o' 5
