Brief:
This is Estes' first rocket. Avast, me proud beauty! Arrr! Blimey! It has been out o' production for a number o' years. Begad! Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! I'd say it's almost impossible t' find a complete kit. Arrr! Well, me bucko, blow me down! Blimey! This was 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. Blimey! Blimey! Arrr! Blimey! I got t' plans from Jimz and used parts from an old Mini Bertha. Ahoy! Blimey! T' rocket has tumble recovery, matey, ya bilge rat, so no parachute or streamer. Well, blow me down! Blimey! There are 3 fins which need t' be cut. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Ahoy! Blimey! 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. Ya scallywag! 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! It is a easy build. I think it was a skill 1 rocket. Begad! No special tools really needed.

Finishing:
There were 2 decals. Aye aye! But I just made ovals on t' side, since I had no decals. Avast, me proud beauty! My paint skills were pretty lame when I built this. Begad! I went with t' look as I saw in a Ninfinger Catalog photo. Arrr! 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, as with all tumble recovery rockets. I will use a 1/2A6-2 for first flight.

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

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

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

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
