Brief:
This kit is a single stage, "fantasy scale" rocket, shiver me timbers, usin' a ring-fin for stability.

Construction:
T' kit arrived with all t' necessary parts included, and in good shape. Ya scallywag! Well, blow me down! T' balsa and t' tubes appear t' be identical t' Estes parts. T' nose cone and centerin' rings, shiver me timbers, however, arrr, arrr, I found t' be sub-standard. T' centerin' rings were very thin and flimsy- I used them, arrr, matey, 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 hearties, TLP, and other companies. T' parts all went together easily enough, me hearties, me hearties, but t' rin' tail gave me some trouble. Arrr! T' span o' t' fins be just a bit too short, shiver me timbers, so I wound up havin' t' hold t' rin' in place while t' glue dried. Aye aye! Arrr! T' rest o' t' kit was very straight-forward. Begad! T' finished product is a smart-lookin' ship. Ya scallywag! Aye aye! T' narrow fins that go on just ahead o' t' rin' are pretty fragile, matey, but t' rest is solid enough.

Finishing:
Paintin' t' kit is simple enough. Begad! Prime, shiver me timbers, spray t' whole Man-O-War white, matey, and paint t' nose red. Avast, arrr, me proud beauty! After that, ya bilge rat, t' decals go on. Begad! I haven't put t' decals on mine just yet, I got distracted with some other projects, me bucko, and t' rocket looks good enough without them! Overall, matey, matey, I'm givin' a ratin' o' 3 for construction/finishing. T' score would be much higher if t' centerin' rings, arrr, matey, which I consider a safety issue, were made o' sturdier stuff. Well, blow me down! Avast, shiver me timbers, me proud beauty! 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, both very successful. Well, blow me down! T' first nearly ended up in a tree, but was recovered. Begad! Begad! T' second resulted in a short hike, ya bilge rat, but was otherwise uneventful. Well, blow me down! Both flights were on C6-3's.

Recovery:
This is a very light rocket for t' size o' chute that be included. Ahoy! I opted t' cut a spill hole in it, even before t' first flight. Ahoy! It still drifts considerably. Ahoy! I'd enlarge t' spill hole, 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, ya bilge rat, unique Man-O-War. Begad! Begad! T' quality o' materials has room for improvement, but t' design itself seems well thought-out.

Overall Rating: 3 out o' 5
