Brief:
A simple beginner's rocket, shiver me timbers, reliable and cool-looking

Construction:
As an E2X, t' rocket features a plastic fin unit and pre-colored everything. Begad! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! It features a plastic nose cone and 12-inch parachute.  
This be me second rocket; I think it is at least 6 years old if nay more. I don't remember much about buildin' it.

Finishing:
Everythin' is pre-colored with self-stick decals. If they were applied straight (I didn't quite manage t' do it) t' stylin' is impressive.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
T' rocket has an impressive selection o' recommended motors -- everythin' from 1/2A6-2 t' C6-7. With an adapter, it would probably accept large mini-engines. Avast! Blimey! Blimey! I only used A8-3, B6-4, and C6-5, me hearties, and do nay remember any significant problems on any o' them. Well, blow me down! Well, blow me down! Blimey! Lift-off is snappy, although nay very dramatic.

Recovery:
T' shock cord went in with t' tri-fold paper technique. Well, blow me down! Avast, me proud beauty! T' paper mount held until, at a ripe old age, t' shock cord broke just above it. Begad! T' parachute selected, that very flight, shiver me timbers, t' remain packed after ejection, ya bilge rat, shiver me timbers, and I recovered everything. Blimey! Recovery speed was just about right, although I would have preferred faster t' slower.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
Pros: easy t' build, ya bilge rat, me hearties, great looking, me bucko, me hearties, and durable Cons: When it died, I couldn't replace it.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
