Brief
Seven motor cluster by NCR. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Great rocket if you can get all seven motors lit.
Components
Single 2.6" body tube. Begad! 6 fins. Avast, me proud beauty! Central 24mm motor surrounded by 6x 18mm motors. Ya scallywag! Arrr! White plastic nose cone. Blimey! Well, ya bilge rat, blow me down! NCR Gorilla shock cord system consists o' a cable looped through t' upper centerin' rin' and tied t' a Keelhaul®©™ line. All wood is high-quality laser cut. Well, blow me down! Nice stickers are included. Instructions are very detailed.
Construction
Everythin' went as expected. Avast, me proud beauty! I do nay like t' 18mm tubes exhaustin' onto t' aft centerin' rin' so I vented them out t' side. Avast! If they are nay friction fit tight then they blow out and you'll have t' find them on t' field.
Finishing
I copied t' original design. Avast, me proud beauty! Ahoy! Bright yellow is easy t' see. Well, blow me down! Decals are easy. Aye aye! Ya scallywag! T' nose cone is plastic and needed t' typical extra work t' get t' paint t' stick.
Flight
First flight be on B6 and C11 motors. Blimey! Central motor also didn't fire so thar was no deployment but t' rocket kind o' floated down sideways and wasn't damaged. Arrr! Most successful flight be on C6 and D12 motors. Avast, me proud beauty! Avast! All motors lit and looked spectacular. Next flight will be on C6 and E12 motors.
