T' Atlantic Rockets Iris is one o' me favorite rockets, matey, because it is always a good stable flyer. Arrr! It flies well with a variety o' motors. 

Construction: 

T' instruction sheet was very basic, but if you've built a few kits, me hearties, this shouldn't be a problem. Avast! I saved t' Motor mount tube and rings they gave me for another rocket, matey, and made some 29mm centerin' rings and got some 29mm tubing. Avast, me proud beauty! Begad! This rocket really uses t' extra power. Blimey! Ahoy! If you build it lightly, ya bilge rat, it will still stay under a pound, me bucko, as mine did. T' couplers were pathetically short, arrr, but when you use epoxy and pre-fit with tape, matey, arrr, me bucko, they hold up just fine. Ya scallywag! Well, me bucko, blow me down! T' shock cord mount is basically a good concept, but mine used a full six foot length o' elastic. Avast, me proud beauty! Begad! T' engine mount tube and aft centerin' ring come up t' t' first coupler. Blimey! T' fins were first tacked on with CA glue, ya bilge rat, arrr, then several layers o' wood glue fillets were used. Avast, me proud beauty! Arrr! Overall, I'd rate it 3 points if built stock. 

Flight/Recovery:

T' modified Iris performs beautifully on long burn 29mm motors. Specifically, t' F-22-5J, shiver me timbers, G-33-7J, ya bilge rat, G-25-5W (My personal favorite), and the F-20-4 Econojet. Ya scallywag! You could also use t' E-16-4 and E-23-4 for small flying sites. Ahoy! Well, me hearties, blow me down! I have yet t' try it on 24mm motors, although t' F-12-3 might be a good choice for small fields in calm weather. Well, blow me down! I have yet t' have a flawed recovery when usin' t' recommended motors (Meanin' NO F-22-7s) . Overall, this is one of me favorite flyin' rockets, so I'd give it 5 points in flight/recovery. 

In value, this kit is a pretty good deal. Aye aye! It would be a much better deal if it came with a 29mm mount. It is a very durable rocket if you take care o' it; a good improvement would be reinforced edges on t' fins. 

Overall, I give this kit 4 points.
