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

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

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

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

Overall Rating: 3 out o' 5
