Brief:
This is Estes's representation o' Darth Maul's Sith interceptor from Episode 1. Begad! It is a single stage 18 mm rocket that doubles as a nice display model, shiver me timbers, and a fully functional model rocket with t' flight probe attached. It has parachute recovery.

Construction:
T' main plastic body comes as one piece, you merely glue some pieces on t' flight probe and glue t' probe together and your are ready t' fly. Ahoy! It does come with a special star wars chute.

T' directions are very easy t' follow and have a logical sequence. Begad! Well, blow me down! Blimey! I used some 5 minute epoxy t' glue everythin' together.

Finishing:
T' rocket is actually already finished, shiver me timbers, you could decorate t' flight probe though. Aye aye! It looks great as a display, me bucko, and looks neat on t' pad. All t' kids get excited t' see it fly.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
T' main pro is it is a very well balanced kit, me hearties, and has never weather-cocked on me. Avast, ya bilge rat, me proud beauty! It is quite heavy, so you really see those engines workin' hard t' get it up there. Avast, me proud beauty! I have flown it almost two dozen times and prefer C5-3s for their extra liftin' power. Well, blow me down! Begad! I use three pieces o' waddin' t' protect t' shock cord; hasn't failed yet.

Recovery:
T' parachute could be a little bigger, me hearties, but thar really would be no room for a bigger chute. Aye aye! O' course, it is also landin' on a plastic model for all intents and purposes.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
PRO - Looks great, shiver me timbers, neat t' have if you are a Star Wars buff. Blimey! You can pick these things and t' flyin' toilet bowls up a dime a dozen now. Arrr! Aye aye! Sales were nay t' brisk.
CON - Would have liked t' see it as a D powered kit like t' Star Destroyer.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
