Brief:
This is Estes' first rocket. Begad! Blimey! Ahoy! Blimey! It has been out o' production for a number o' years. Blimey! Blimey! I'd say it's almost impossible t' find a complete kit. Begad! Blimey! This was a clone that I made out o' spare parts and wood from one o' me dad's busted model airplane.

Construction:
This kit be made from spare parts. Blimey! I got t' plans from Jimz and used parts from an old Mini Bertha. Ya scallywag! Blimey! Blimey! T' rocket has tumble recovery, so no parachute or streamer. Avast! Blimey! There are 3 fins which need t' be cut. Begad! Blimey! T' cone is glued on. Ahoy! Aye aye! Blimey! You then punch out 2 small vent holes on t' top sides.

Instructions were just lookin' at a picture from Jimz. Avast, me proud beauty! Well, matey, blow me down! My NC be too tall (bein' from a Mini Bertha) so I did some sandin' down. I used hot glue on attachin' t' fins, me hearties, ya bilge rat, which works good. Well, me hearties, blow me down! It is a easy build. Begad! Ahoy! I think it was a skill 1 rocket. Avast, me proud beauty! No special tools really needed.

Finishing:
There were 2 decals. But I just made ovals on t' side, since I had no decals. My paint skills were pretty lame when I built this. Arrr! I went with t' look as I saw in a Ninfinger Catalog photo. I used a Sharpie t' paint t' black fin.

Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5

Flight:
I haven't flown it yet. It needs no wadding, as with all tumble recovery rockets. Avast, me proud beauty! I will use a 1/2A6-2 for first flight.

Recovery:
Like I said, me bucko, I haven't flown it yet, but from what I've seen from me Quark, matey, it should come down fast. Arrr! Probably go up fast and high.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
This kit is good. Aye aye! Fairly easy t' clone and has a pretty slick paint job. I have yet t' fly it, matey, but it is a nice rocket for t' starter. You'll have t' clone it if you want one.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
