Brief:
This was one o' t' pro series line o' kits Estes offered in t' early 90's. Begad! It is a basic dual engine 24 mm rocket with some upgraded components. Begad! It has a very nice yellow nylon chute for recovery.

Construction:
T' kit comes with t' pre slotted main body tube, a "payload" section, me hearties, and 2 motor tubes. Aye aye! It has 4 balsa fins that come with spruce t' reinforce t' edges o' t' balsa with. Avast! It has t' basic nose cone, and a build your own type o' interlockin' motor mount t' help secure t' fins. Aye aye! Arrr! T' shock cord is actually mounted t' a piece o' basswood near t' top o' t' main tube. Begad! Begad! This could be an early anti zipper design. Begad! Well, blow me down! Nicely done! I lengthened t' motor mount tubes and built them with 30 minute epoxy in hopes o' flyin' this kit on 2 G55's. Begad! I have nay done that yet.

T' directions are fairly easy t' follow, but they are a little confusin' about how t' build this motor mount. Well, blow me down! It is similar t' an Aerotech interlock fin design, that when t' fins slide into t' body, t' slots help hold t' fins in place and are quit nice for what they are intended for. Begad! I can't imagine they thought you needed this much reinforcement for just flyin' on D's. Ya scallywag! I secretly think they were thar for t' "EXPLOSIVE" power o' some o' Estes's E engines! T' mount actually is strong enough t' take E30's no problem. Ahoy! Avast, me hearties, me proud beauty! T' fins are a snap t' put on. Avast! Aye aye! T' rest o' t' rocket can be assembled almost simultaneously after t' motor mount is secured. Ya scallywag! Avast, me proud beauty! I did brush on a layer o' resin t' fill t' balsa fins and help protect them. Arrr! T' kit comes with some large waterslide decals which really make it look sharp.

Finishing:
This kit is very easy t' finish, ya bilge rat, and t' decals look great on multi color paint schemes. Avast, me proud beauty! T' kit really looks and flies great! I painted mine orange and blue for t' Syracuse Orangemen!

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
I have flown this kit twice, shiver me timbers, ya bilge rat, on now extinct D12-7's and E30-7's. Arrr! Well, blow me down! It goes really nice on t' D's, lots o' fire and smoke. Ya scallywag! Arrr! It really screams on t' E30's.

Recovery:
T' bright yellow 18 inch nylon chute is very easy t' see, shiver me timbers, and t' rocket always lands gently. Arrr! Blimey! I used a screw holdin' a washer in betwixt t' motors for retention.

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

Summary:
PRO - Easy "PRO SERIES" kit t' build, me hearties, easy t' modify. Avast, me proud beauty! Great flights, me bucko, shiver me timbers, great recovery system.
CON - They stopped makin' them.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
