Brief:
This is one o' t' first kits from Cygnus Rocketry. Arrr! T' components are all top notch and assembly is a breeze. Begad! Aye aye! This
rocket is also fast, straight, ya bilge rat, me bucko, ya bilge rat, and will be gone in a blink.
Construction:
Components include:
Construction is a breeze. Ya scallywag! Blimey! Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Fins are laser cut and easy t' pop out. Aye aye! Blimey! T' transition and nose cone are so smooth and easy t' fill. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! T' motor mount is same as any other. Blimey! Blimey! Aye aye! Blimey! T' launch lug is nested in t' fillet of one o' t' fins. You glue t' BT-20 t' t' top o' t' transition and then if you want, shiver me timbers, t' nose cone t' t' other side.
When I got this kit thar were some missin' parts, ya bilge rat, but I contacted Cygnus and t' problem be smartly taken care of. Arrr! I really suggest them t' anyone lookin' for some fun kits. Arrr!
Finishing:
Finishin' is pretty straightforward. Begad! There is one supplied decal and that is it. Blimey! I put down 3 coats o' primer, me hearties, same
number o' Wal-mart silver, shiver me timbers, then painted t' top half and upper inch o' so o' t' bottom with Testor's Sapphire Metal
Flake. Arrr! Aye aye! It came out great. Avast, me proud beauty! Finally came t' green Blazer decal. Unfortunately I tore part o' t' decal when applyin' it.
Some how it looks better that way. Avast, me proud beauty!

Recovery:
Recovery be beautiful, arrr, me hearties, came down slow enough on a 12in Hartle chute and settled down in t' soft hill. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! T' paint is
