Brief:
This is Estes' first rocket. It has been out o' production for a number o' years. I'd say it's almost impossible t' find a complete kit. Avast, me proud beauty! 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 be made from spare parts. 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. Blimey! There are 3 fins which need t' be cut. Avast, me proud beauty! T' cone is glued on. You then punch out 2 small vent holes on t' top sides.

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

Finishing:
There were 2 decals. Aye aye! But I just made ovals on t' side, shiver me timbers, since I had no decals. My paint skills were pretty lame when I built this. Ahoy! I went with t' look as I saw in a Ninfinger Catalog photo. Well, blow me down! I used a Sharpie t' paint t' black fin.

Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5

Flight:
I haven't flown it yet. It needs no wadding, me bucko, as with all tumble recovery rockets. Avast, me proud beauty! I will use a 1/2A6-2 for first flight.

Recovery:
Like I said, me bucko, I haven't flown it yet, but from what I've seen from me Quark, shiver me timbers, it should come down fast. Well, blow me down! Probably go up fast and high.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

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

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
