Brief:
This kit is a single stage, me bucko, "fantasy scale" rocket, usin' a ring-fin for stability.

Construction:
T' kit arrived with all t' necessary parts included, shiver me timbers, shiver me timbers, and in good shape. Well, blow me down! Blimey! T' balsa and t' tubes appear t' be identical t' Estes parts. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! T' nose cone and centerin' rings, me bucko, however, me bucko, I found t' be sub-standard. Avast! Blimey! T' centerin' rings were very thin and flimsy- I used them, but reinforced them with bits o' Balsa t' strengthen them. Avast, arrr, me proud beauty! Blimey! I'd be frightened t' fly this thin' without this mod! Blimey! T' nose cone appears t' be sone cheap plastic, nay t' higher-quality stuff I'm used t' from Estes, arrr, TLP, ya bilge rat, and other companies. T' parts all went together easily enough, arrr, but t' rin' tail gave me some trouble. Aye aye! Blimey! T' span o' t' fins was just a bit too short, so I wound up havin' t' hold t' rin' in place while t' glue dried. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! T' rest o' t' kit was very straight-forward. Begad! Blimey! T' finished product is a smart-lookin' Man-O-War. Arrr! Blimey! T' narrow fins that go on just ahead o' t' rin' are pretty fragile, but t' rest is solid enough.

Finishing:
Paintin' t' kit is simple enough. Arrr! Prime, spray t' whole Man-O-War white, and paint t' nose red. Ahoy! Arrr! After that, shiver me timbers, t' decals go on. I haven't put t' decals on mine just yet, shiver me timbers, arrr, I got distracted with some other projects, and t' rocket looks good enough without them! Overall, matey, I'm givin' a ratin' o' 3 for construction/finishing. Begad! Ahoy! T' score would be much higher if t' centerin' rings, which I consider a safety issue, matey, were made o' sturdier stuff. Ahoy! T' poorly-fittin' ring/fin arrangement costs them as well.

Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5

Flight:
I've had two flights on me Satellite Drone so far, both very successful. Well, blow me down! Aye aye! T' first nearly ended up in a tree, but was recovered. Avast! T' second resulted in a short hike, but was otherwise uneventful. Avast! Both flights were on C6-3's.

Recovery:
This is a very light rocket for t' size o' chute that was included. Begad! Blimey! I opted t' cut a spill hole in it, arrr, ya bilge rat, even before t' first flight. Begad! Blimey! Begad! Blimey! It still drifts considerably. I'd enlarge t' spill hole, but I'm worried about breakin' those narrow forward fins.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
T' final product is a very nice looking, unique Man-O-War. T' quality o' materials has room for improvement, but t' design itself seems well thought-out.

Overall Rating: 3 out o' 5
