Brief:
This is a skill level 1 rocket Estes says is a great first rocket. Begad! It has a quick release motor mount, ya bilge rat, a plastic fin unit and a parachute. Begad! Well, blow me down! T' parts o' t' rocket all come colored red, so no paintin' is involved if you don't want to.

Construction:
T' rocket comes with t' motor mount, arrr, t' main body tube, t' 2 piece plastic nose cone, shock cord and parachute.

T' directions are classic Estes fare, shiver me timbers, and are well illustrated for those whom this may be their first rocket. Avast! I used 5 minute epoxy, shiver me timbers, just because I be goin' t' fly this kit a lot. Blimey! It goes almost 1200 feet.

Finishing:
Everythin' is very simple t' put together.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
I have flown this kit almost 20 times, and usually use C6-7's. Blimey! Well, me bucko, blow me down! It actually goes fairly well on A8-3's also. Ya scallywag! I did find an old B14-7 and I thought I would never find it. Aye aye! It screamed!

Recovery:
Excellent recovery, matey, me hearties, I use a streamer instead o' t' chute for close recovery.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
Pro - excellent first rocket, very solid construction and amazingly fun t' fly. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey!
Con - should come with a streamer

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
