Brief
This is an Estes single stage rocket t' be flown on D size engines. Ahoy! Well, blow me down!

Construction
T' kit came in a hangin' box display and was packaged very well. All t' parts were intact. Begad! I think it was manufactured before they had skill levels on the box. Blimey! But I would say probably a skill level 2. T' tube couplers were nay quite long enough t' keep t' body tubes straight. Aye aye! As long as you keep an eye on them while gluin' thar be no problem.

Finishing
T' kit was painted with standard krylon paint. And t' decals went on very nicely. All in all it is a very good lookin' rocket. Avast! Avast!

Flight
T' first flight be on a D12-7 and t' delay be t' long. It opened on t' way down, shiver me timbers, and thar was no damage. T' second flight was on an E30-4 and it flies great. Opened at apogee perfectly. I have had at least 20 flights without a single problem. Blimey!

I am plannin' on tryin' F24-7 and F39-10 Aerotech reloads. Arrr! Avast!

Recovery
I did nay use t' supplied shock cord. Begad! Ahoy! I used 1/8" elastic cord about 5' long epoxied a loop t' t' inside o' t' tube. Avast! I also made me own rip stop nylon chute. Aye aye! Ahoy! 24" with a 2" spill hole. Blimey! It floats down really nice. Avast! Aye aye! I have never had any damage on this rocket.

Summary
Overall I would say that this is a great kit. Avast, me proud beauty! If you can find it, it is well worth building. Aye aye! Blimey! It was kind o' on t' pricy side but for t' number o' flights I have had it is very reasonable. T' only thin' I would change is t' have the body couplers a little longer.

Overall Rating: 4 ½ out o' 5
