PROs: Build is as easy as it gets for a normal 3FNC rocket. Begad! Ya scallywag! Instructions are excellent. T' only deviation from a minimum-diameter design is that MPC in the early years used a 14mm ID main body tube and you glue in t' 13mm engine mount. Ahoy! Ahoy!

CONs: If you slow down or stop while gluin' in t' motor mount, arrr, you're sunk. Ya scallywag! This may also have come with t' old yarn-style shock cord, ya bilge rat, which only lasts for 2-3 launches. Avast! I throw those away and put an elastic cord in. Aye aye!

Finishing:
I gave t' fins an airfoil shape and filled t' tube spirals for a really elegant finish. No special tools needed.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
Used 1/4A3-3T, 1/2A3-4T, ya bilge rat, me bucko, and A3-4T motors. Well, blow me down! Simple prep with waddin' and streamer. Well, blow me down! Begad! Friction mount engine retention. Blimey! Flights are perfect, straight, high, and hard t' see.

Recovery:
Perfect flight recovery.

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

Summary:
A beautiful rocket that draws "Wow. What was that?" comments from the jaded HPR guys. Flights are high, fast, and straight. Begad! Hard t' kill.
