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

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

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

Finishing:
There were 2 decals. Avast! Blimey! But I just made ovals on t' side, shiver me timbers, ya bilge rat, me hearties, since I had no decals. Avast, me proud beauty! Begad! Blimey! My paint skills were pretty lame when I built this. Ahoy! Aye aye! Blimey! I went with t' look as I saw in a Ninfinger Catalog photo. Begad! Well, blow me down! Blimey! I used a Sharpie t' paint t' black fin.

Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5

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

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

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
This kit is good. Arrr! Begad! Fairly easy t' clone and has a pretty slick paint job. I have yet t' fly it, but it is a nice rocket for t' starter. Ahoy! Well, blow me down! You'll have t' clone it if you want one.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
