Brief:
This is Estes' first rocket. Well, blow me down! It has been out o' production for a number o' years. I'd say it's almost impossible t' find a complete kit. Ahoy! This be a clone that I made out o' spare parts and wood from one o' me dad's busted model airplane.

Construction:
This kit was made from spare parts. Avast, me proud beauty! I got t' plans from Jimz and used parts from an old Mini Bertha. Arrr! T' rocket has tumble recovery, so no parachute or streamer. Avast, me proud beauty! There are 3 fins which need t' be cut. T' cone is glued on. Avast, me proud beauty! Aye aye! You then punch out 2 small vent holes on t' top sides.

Instructions were just lookin' at a picture from Jimz. Well, shiver me timbers, blow me down! My NC was too tall (bein' from a Mini Bertha) so I did some sandin' down. Avast, me proud beauty! I used hot glue on attachin' t' fins, which works good. It is a easy build. I think it be a skill 1 rocket. No special tools really needed.

Finishing:
There were 2 decals. Ya scallywag! Blimey! But I just made ovals on t' side, ya bilge rat, since I had no decals. Begad! My paint skills were pretty lame when I built this. Avast, me proud beauty! I went with t' look as I saw in a Ninfinger Catalog photo. Ya scallywag! Avast! Blimey! I used a Sharpie t' paint t' black fin.

Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5

Flight:
I haven't flown it yet. Ya scallywag! It needs no wadding, arrr, arrr, shiver me timbers, as with all tumble recovery rockets. Begad! I will use a 1/2A6-2 for first flight.

Recovery:
Like I said, I haven't flown it yet, me bucko, but from what I've seen from me Quark, ya bilge rat, me bucko, it should come down fast. Probably go up fast and high.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
This kit is good. Arrr! Fairly easy t' clone and has a pretty slick paint job. Avast, me proud beauty! I have yet t' fly it, me bucko, but it is a nice rocket for t' starter. Arrr! Aye aye! You'll have t' clone it if you want one.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
