Brief:
This be t' same model as t' 3x24 cluster edition . T' difference is a single 29mm mount. Ya scallywag! Aye aye! If you are lookin' for a big rocket and big thrills that won't break t' bank, arrr, your search is over.

Construction:

Instructions for this model were straight forward, no surprises. Blimey! Begad! I used 5min. Ya scallywag! Well, blow me down! epoxy for all joints. Aye aye! Avast! I was unsure about t' fiberboard shock cord mount.It seemed that might be a weak point, arrr, so I epoxied a piece o' 1/8' ply t' the back side, me bucko, drilled then attached t' eye-bolt. Avast! Aye aye! I used Keelhaul®©™® shock cord that extended just t' t' end o' t' body tube then attached t' 60"elastic shock cord t' it. My other concern be t' paper fin covering. Begad! It turned out fine though, shiver me timbers, I did use t' glue stick method. It worked well. I also added positive motor retention with threaded inserts, me hearties, screws, shiver me timbers, me bucko, and a drawer repair bracket. It was an easy build for me. This was me first mid power kit. Begad!

Finishing:
Finishin' be an easy job. Aye aye! Avast! I got good transitions on t' paper fin covering. Avast, me proud beauty! Ya scallywag! I sealed the open edges with thin CA. I filled t' tube grooves with thinned Elmer wood filler, me bucko, then sanded t' whole unit. Avast, me proud beauty! I started with 2 coats o' Valspar white primer. Begad! Sanded with 220, then painted with 2 coats o' Valspar white. Well, me bucko, blow me down! I washed ,then sanded t' nose cone, and painted with Valspar plastic paint. Ya scallywag! I applied t' water slide decals with no problems and finished with 2 coats o' Krylon crystal clear. Begad!

Flight:
T' recommended motors are an F45-5, F42-4, ya bilge rat, G40-4, and G80-7. Avast, me proud beauty! Winds were calm. Aye aye!

Maiden flight was with a G76-4G. Arrr! It was a perfect shot, me hearties, nice and straight. Begad! It went t' about 900ft.

#2 was on a F40-7W maybe 500ft.Delay was t' long for comfort, but we survived.Paper coverin' peeled partially away on one fin tip. Well, blow me down! No problem thin CA t' t' rescue.

#3 was a G76-4G. This seems t' be t' perfect motor for this big rocket. Well, blow me down! Avast!

Recovery:
I used a piece o' Keelhaul®©™® extendin' just beyond t' body tube t' attach t' elastic shock chord to. Begad! Avast! T' 36" parachute was fine. Begad! All three shots it landed within 100ft o' pad. Descent be nice and slow. Avast, shiver me timbers, me proud beauty! On a windy day you might have t' walk a ways.

Summary:
This is a easy buildin' rocket. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Avast, ya bilge rat, me proud beauty! Blimey! T' only thin' I might change would be t' balsa paper covered fins. Lite ply would be better. Begad! Blimey! All parts were good quality. Arrr! Blimey! It's nice t' have a big rocket that you can see all stages o' a launch clearly. Ya scallywag! Blimey! Slow take off. Begad! Blimey! Nice straight ascent. Ahoy! Blimey! Ahoy! Blimey! Apogee and chute deployment. I think it's a great kit.
