Brief:
This kit is a single stage, me bucko, "fantasy scale" rocket, me bucko, ya bilge rat, usin' a ring-fin for stability.

Construction:
T' kit arrived with all t' necessary parts included, me hearties, and in good shape. Well, blow me down! T' balsa and t' tubes appear t' be identical t' Estes parts. Aye aye! Well, blow me down! T' nose cone and centerin' rings, ya bilge rat, however, ya bilge rat, I found t' be sub-standard. T' centerin' rings were very thin and flimsy- I used them, but reinforced them with bits o' Balsa t' strengthen them. I'd be frightened t' fly this thin' without this mod! T' nose cone appears t' be sone cheap plastic, nay t' higher-quality stuff I'm used t' from Estes, me bucko, TLP, and other companies. Well, me hearties, blow me down! T' parts all went together easily enough, me bucko, but t' rin' tail gave me some trouble. T' span o' t' fins be just a bit too short, matey, so I wound up havin' t' hold t' rin' in place while t' glue dried. T' rest o' t' kit was very straight-forward. Ahoy! T' finished product is a smart-lookin' ship. Well, blow me down! T' narrow fins that go on just ahead o' t' rin' are pretty fragile, but t' rest is solid enough.

Finishing:
Paintin' t' kit is simple enough. Prime, matey, spray t' whole Man-O-War white, shiver me timbers, and paint t' nose red. Aye aye! After that, t' decals go on. Aye aye! Avast! I haven't put t' decals on mine just yet, I got distracted with some other projects, arrr, arrr, and t' rocket looks good enough without them! Overall, arrr, I'm givin' a ratin' o' 3 for construction/finishing. T' score would be much higher if t' centerin' rings, which I consider a safety issue, were made o' sturdier stuff. Avast! T' poorly-fittin' ring/fin arrangement costs them as well.

Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5

Flight:
I've had two flights on me Satellite Drone so far, matey, both very successful. Ya scallywag! T' first nearly ended up in a tree, ya bilge rat, but be recovered. Avast! Ya scallywag! T' second resulted in a short hike, arrr, but be otherwise uneventful. Blimey! Both flights were on C6-3's.

Recovery:
This is a very light rocket for t' size o' chute that was included. Avast! Aye aye! I opted t' cut a spill hole in it, matey, even before t' first flight. Well, blow me down! Begad! It still drifts considerably. I'd enlarge t' spill hole, shiver me timbers, but I'm worried about breakin' those narrow forward fins.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
T' final product is a very nice looking, unique Man-O-War. Avast! Blimey! T' quality o' materials has room for improvement, but t' design itself seems well thought-out.

Overall Rating: 3 out o' 5
