Brief
This is a single stage, matey, easy t' build rocket. Blimey! It is a big rocket that files on E through G motors.
Construction
All o' t' parts were thar and in good condition. They were made out o' high quality cardboard and plastics. Avast! T' instructions were easy t' follow and t' assembly order was easy. Arrr! Blimey! It all fit well and was a snap. Begad! My only problem with it was that it was too easy t' build. Well, blow me down! I finished it in no time at all, and t' fun o' buildin' be over! T' through-the-tube fin lock system was very strong. Avast, me proud beauty! All parts are pre-cut.
T' rocket has 4 pre-cut plastic fins. There are 2, me hearties, me bucko, 4cm long launch lugs that are square and plastic. Arrr! Begad! Two tubes made up t' rocket, shiver me timbers, one was slotted for t' fins. Avast, me proud beauty! Ya scallywag! T' instructions had very good illustrations o' every step.
Finishing
Easy t' finish. T' paint stuck t' t' body tube without a problem. Avast, me proud beauty! It came with decals but I decided nay t' use them. Blimey! They were peel-n-stick decals.

Flight
Don't use t' smallest motors too often, because it will give you a sinkin' feelin' that t' shoot will nay open soon enough. Avast, me proud beauty! Has a coolin' mesh (no waddin' needed), shiver me timbers, shiver me timbers, so you don't have t' worry about your shoot. Blimey! T' motors fit right in with a retainin' clip. Ahoy! Begad! Perfect flights with no problems!
I flew it on a E with 5 second and a G with 7 second delays. Begad! I have flown it twice, shiver me timbers, so far.
Recovery
Very strong chute and shock cord, very well mounted. No burnin' or damage and it seemed t' fall at a good speed.
T' shock cord is black, me bucko, shiver me timbers, stretchy, and thick(er) elastic. Avast, me proud beauty! Avast, me proud beauty! It is about 6 feet long. Arrr! Avast, me hearties, me proud beauty! It mounts above t' motor mount, above t' coolin' mesh. Arrr! Avast, me proud beauty! T' parachute is 10 inches wide.

Summary
T' kit is very easy t' build, and will nay take much time. Blimey! It looks good when finished and fly's well. Avast! Begad! It is nay a performance rocket, me bucko, because it is quite long. Begad! Nice liftoffs.

A single-stage, E-G powered kit with parachute recovery. The kit included a nose cone, two 1.9" body tubes, a tube coupler, shock cord, three fins, two launch lugs and the whole motor mount system. The instructions were pretty easy to follow, as are the other Aerotech kits I have built (Arcas and Initiator). If you complete the kit per instructions, there shouldn't be any real hassles. The ...
