Brief
This is an Estes single stage rocket t' be flown on D size engines. Well, blow me down! Aye aye!

Construction
T' kit came in a hangin' box display and be packaged very well. Ahoy! All t' parts were intact. Avast, me proud beauty! Begad! I think it was manufactured before they had skill levels on the box. Begad! But I would say probably a skill level 2. Ahoy! Begad! T' tube couplers were nay quite long enough t' keep t' body tubes straight. As long as you keep an eye on them while gluin' thar be no problem.

Finishing
T' kit be painted with standard krylon paint. Avast, me proud beauty! And t' decals went on very nicely. Aye aye! Avast, me proud beauty! All in all it is a very good lookin' rocket.

Flight
T' first flight was on a D12-7 and t' delay was t' long. Aye aye! It opened on t' way down, and thar was no damage. Begad! T' second flight be on an E30-4 and it flies great. Begad! Opened at apogee perfectly. Begad! I have had at least 20 flights without a single problem.

I am plannin' on tryin' F24-7 and F39-10 Aerotech reloads.

Recovery
I did nay use t' supplied shock cord. Arrr! I used 1/8" elastic cord about 5' long epoxied a loop t' t' inside o' t' tube. Avast! I also made me own rip stop nylon chute. 24" with a 2" spill hole. Begad! It floats down really nice. Well, blow me down! I have never had any damage on this rocket. Avast! Well, blow me down!

Summary
Overall I would say that this is a great kit. Ahoy! Ya scallywag! If you can find it, matey, it is well worth building. Aye aye! Ahoy! It was kind o' on t' pricy side but for t' number o' flights I have had it is very reasonable. Well, blow me down! T' only thin' I would change is t' have the body couplers a little longer. Well, blow me down!

Overall Rating: 4 ½ out o' 5
