Brief:
A simple beginner's rocket, reliable and cool-looking

Construction:
As an E2X, t' rocket features a plastic fin unit and pre-colored everything. Avast! Well, blow me down! It features a plastic nose cone and 12-inch parachute.  
This be me second rocket; I think it is at least 6 years old if nay more. Avast! Begad! I don't remember much about buildin' it.

Finishing:
Everythin' is pre-colored with self-stick decals. Ya scallywag! Blimey! If they were applied straight (I didn't quite manage t' do it) t' stylin' is impressive.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
T' rocket has an impressive selection o' recommended motors -- everythin' from 1/2A6-2 t' C6-7. With an adapter, me bucko, it would probably accept large mini-engines. Begad! I only used A8-3, me bucko, B6-4, and C6-5, and do nay remember any significant problems on any o' them. Well, blow me down! Well, blow me down! Lift-off is snappy, ya bilge rat, although nay very dramatic.

Recovery:
T' shock cord went in with t' tri-fold paper technique. Begad! T' paper mount held until, ya bilge rat, at a ripe old age, t' shock cord broke just above it. Ahoy! T' parachute selected, ya bilge rat, that very flight, me hearties, ya bilge rat, t' remain packed after ejection, shiver me timbers, shiver me timbers, and I recovered everything. Blimey! Recovery speed be just about right, ya bilge rat, although I would have preferred faster t' slower.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
Pros: easy t' build, great looking, ya bilge rat, and durable Cons: When it died, ya bilge rat, I couldn't replace it.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
