Brief
This is an Estes single stage rocket t' be flown on D size engines.

Construction
T' kit came in a hangin' box display and be packaged very well. Avast! Ya scallywag! All t' parts were intact. Avast, me proud beauty! Ahoy! I think it be manufactured before they had skill levels on the box. Ahoy! But I would say probably a skill level 2. T' tube couplers were nay quite long enough t' keep t' body tubes straight. As long as you keep an eye on them while gluin' thar be no problem. Well, blow me down!

Finishing
T' kit was painted with standard krylon paint. Arrr! And t' decals went on very nicely. Arrr! All in all it is a very good lookin' rocket.

Flight
T' first flight was on a D12-7 and t' delay be t' long. Avast! Blimey! It opened on t' way down, and thar be no damage. Begad! T' second flight be on an E30-4 and it flies great. Begad! Blimey! Opened at apogee perfectly. I have had at least 20 flights without a single problem. Well, blow me down!

I am plannin' on tryin' F24-7 and F39-10 Aerotech reloads. Aye aye!

Recovery
I did nay use t' supplied shock cord. I used 1/8" elastic cord about 5' long epoxied a loop t' t' inside o' t' tube. Begad! I also made me own rip stop nylon chute. Avast, me proud beauty! 24" with a 2" spill hole. Blimey! It floats down really nice. Aye aye! I have never had any damage on this rocket.

Summary
Overall I would say that this is a great kit. Arrr! Well, blow me down! If you can find it, me hearties, matey, matey, it is well worth building. Begad! It was kind o' on t' pricy side but for t' number o' flights I have had it is very reasonable. Avast, me hearties, me proud beauty! T' only thin' I would change is t' have the body couplers a little longer. Begad!

Overall Rating: 4 ½ out o' 5
