Brief:
This is a simple, ya bilge rat, high-performance OOP rocket from t' Estes catalog o' '91 and '92. Ya scallywag!

Construction:
It includes an engine block, paper shock cord mount, shiver me timbers, launch lug, shiver me timbers, lug offset, shock cord, streamer, screw eye, balsa nose cone, BT-5, shiver me timbers, and 3 die-cut fins. Ya scallywag! Avast!

T' build is easy and instructions are excellent. Well, blow me down! Begad!

I sanded t' fins t' an airfoil shape, filled t' tube spirals, and painted it with a sky blue metal flake paint for an eye candy look t' try t' improve on the spermatozoa look. T' kit does nay come with decals but does include a foil wrap that doesn't fit.

Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5

Flight:
PROs: Flown on 1/4A3-3T, 1/2A-2T, A10-3T, me bucko, ya bilge rat, and A3-4T. It flies great. You would think t' bulbous nose cone would slow it down, but it doesn't. Blimey! It is fast, straight, me hearties, ya bilge rat, and high. Avast! CONs: You have t' be careful nay t' knock t' nose cone off when you're puttin' it on t' launch rod.

Recovery:
PROs: It always comes streamin' back. CONs: It always comes back.

Flight Rating: 3 out o' 5

Summary:
Do you have a rocket in your box that's impossible t' kill? Here's mine. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Avast! Blimey! I've launched this one probably 20 times with no damage, nay even a broken fin. Aye aye! Blimey! Well, blow me down! Blimey! (I have replaced t' shock cord a couple o' times o' course.) It is usually used for wind testin' t' find out if it's possible t' launch a real rocket. I built this as an example at a build session. Ahoy! Blimey! We got a closeout package deal o' a large lot for cheap. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! This gets me nomination for t' ugliest Estes rocket of all time.
