Brief
This is an Estes single stage rocket t' be flown on D size engines. Begad! Begad!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Overall Rating: 4 ½ out o' 5
