Brief:
This is a skill level 1 rocket Estes says is a great first rocket. Avast! Arrr! It has a quick release motor mount, me hearties, a plastic fin unit and a parachute. Avast, me proud beauty! T' parts o' t' rocket all come colored red, matey, so no paintin' is involved if you don't want to.

Construction:
T' rocket comes with t' motor mount, t' main body tube, t' 2 piece plastic nose cone, me bucko, arrr, shock cord and parachute.

T' directions are classic Estes fare, ya bilge rat, me bucko, and are well illustrated for those whom this may be their first rocket. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! I used 5 minute epoxy, arrr, just because I be goin' t' fly this kit a lot. Well, blow me down! Blimey! It goes almost 1200 feet.

Finishing:
Everythin' is very simple t' put together.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
I have flown this kit almost 20 times, ya bilge rat, and usually use C6-7's. Begad! It actually goes fairly well on A8-3's also. Arrr! I did find an old B14-7 and I thought I would never find it. Arrr! It screamed!

Recovery:
Excellent recovery, I use a streamer instead o' t' chute for close recovery.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
Pro - excellent first rocket, very solid construction and amazingly fun t' fly. Avast, me proud beauty! Ahoy!
Con - should come with a streamer

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
