Brief
A real looker, ya bilge rat, this short and stout rocket with a rin' around t' fins t' add stability. It also has forward finlets forward t' each fin.

Construction
When I ordered its sister kit, ya bilge rat, t' GTX, this model be temporarily sold out, so I told t' company please t' inform me when more came and that I'd send for it. Avast, me proud beauty! Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Less than 2 weeks later, me hearties, they arrived, although at a higher price, but t' company allowed me t' have this kit at its original price. Well, blow me down! Blimey! That be a nice courtesy.

All parts came intact in shippin' popcorn. T' rin' appears t' be a strong heavy plastic that might be a fiberglass. Arrr! It's stronger than just polyethylene. Avast, me bucko, me proud beauty! T' fins and finlets are precut plywood and t' sizes are equal in t' sets. Blimey! That's nice nay t' have t' shave some parts t' fit or match, shiver me timbers, like we sometimes must. Ya scallywag! T' 2 launch lugs fit 1/4 inch rods. Well, blow me down! Begad! T' nose cone appears t' be a LOC hollow cone and comes with a premeasured amount o' clay for static stability weighting. Ya scallywag! Avast! It rattles unnervingly in thar when put in, matey, so I applied a small amount o' epoxy t' keep it still. My answer t' many problems. Epoxy.

T' motor mount is 29mm tubin' and 2 plywood centerin' rings, ya bilge rat, one o' which has 2 holes designed t' accept a loop from t' steel cordin' in t' aftward part o' t' shock cord system. Avast, me proud beauty! Begad! This cord is crimped twice t' make 2 loops, ya bilge rat, one forward t' attach t' 1/2 inch elastic shock cord. That was hard, shiver me timbers, arrr, requirin' elbow grease and pliers.

Everythin' else goes together in a snap, matey, as it fits well. Begad! Ya scallywag! Epoxy be used as t' glue. Arrr! Avast, me proud beauty! Directions were simple and straightforward. Arrr! T' chute is a pretty red rip stop, but lightweight nylon, shiver me timbers, me bucko, 23 inches in diameter.

Finishing
This kit came with decals, so I used them. Begad! Blimey! I painted t' rocket yellow and placed t' decals over that, me bucko, arrr, as they're black and look nice over yellow. Ahoy! T' model has a unique and catchy look. Well, blow me down! I'm pleased with it.

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight
T' manufacturer recommends t' F40-6, F62-6, F80-6, arrr, G40-10, and G80-10. I chose t' G35. Arrr! Blimey! It happens t' be a favorite motor o' mine. Begad! Blimey! I had one with a 7 delay. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! I figured that was a close call. Ya scallywag! I'd like an 8 or 9, arrr, really. Anyway, matey, I like t' Econojets because they are noisy on takeoff and put out a pretty flame. Well, shiver me timbers, t' rocket took off with great noise and went up over 1000 feet for sure. Begad! Aye aye! Blimey! It went up into t' sun, ya bilge rat, so I was unsure if it be still pointed up at ejection. Begad! Begad! Blimey! I retained t' motor with piano wire and an auto hose clamp. Worm bed waddin' protected t' chute. Arrr! Blimey! Everythin' fit easily into t' tube and wasn't so tight as t' make preppin' tough.

Recovery
Everythin' survived well, ya bilge rat, so it seems that t' 7 second delay is passable. Well, blow me down! Blimey! T' chute is also a passable size, too, as no fins were damaged.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary
Attractive and easy t' build. Aye aye! Blimey! Begad! Blimey! Good if you want somethin' special t' show others at a launch. Ahoy! Blimey! It's somethin' you won't find in stores. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Arrr! Blimey! I had t' browse t' net for it. Good mid power flights. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Great company t' order from.
