Brief: This be me first Aerotech rocket. I found it easy enough for a rocketeer that has built 5 or so smaller rockets. Blimey! This is a good rocket it you are just gettin' into t' Aerotech Engines or nay familiar with CA glue. It is NOT staged but has an 18 inch 'chute. Blimey! On a F25, It goes about 1500 feet.

Construction: All t' parts were thar and none were broken. Begad! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! T' packagin' is GREAT. Blimey! Blimey! Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! It comes in a box that can be used for anythin' and all t' parts are wrapped up in plastic.

T' instructions were t' thin' that makes Aerotech kits so easy t' build. Avast! They have detailed pictures o' t' rocket at each step. Well, blow me down! They also have a cross-section on what t' whole thin' looks like after t' buildin' process. Ya scallywag! I think even if you make a small slip, these rockets will still fly great.Oh, me bucko, shiver me timbers, but one thing, ya bilge rat, make sure t' glue t' fins in with slow dryin' glue and make sure t' press t' fins in all t' way into t' tube. You will really have t' press t' get them in.

Finishing: I would paint t' black fin first, actually, ya bilge rat, me bucko, matey, and t' red nose cone really looks good and has good visibility.

Construction Rating: 4

Flight: I used an E15-7W for me first flight. Blimey! It was a GREAT flight. Begad! Avast, ya bilge rat, me proud beauty! Very good if you want t' take pictures. Maybe a little shorter delay time though. For t' second flight I used a G40-7W. Blimey! No pictures taken, arrr, no questions asked , everyone was awed. Well, blow me down! For its third flight I used a G80-7W. Avast! Same as G40! Same as G40! Less smoke, more noise. Begad! It soared straight up. It soared straight up. Avast, me proud beauty! If you plan on flying
on a G , get your car ready though. It has a motor hook system. Begad! No waddin' baffler unit.

Recovery: T' recovery be fine. Ahoy! Blimey! T' recovery was fine. Avast! Blimey! A little fast. Ahoy! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! T' shock cord be t' underwear elastic type. Blimey! Blimey! Avast! Blimey! Does nay need tubular Keelhaul®©™ though. T' shock cord is tied into t' rocket via a eye screw. Ya scallywag! Blimey! I am upgradin' t' a 20-inch chute next time I get around t' it though. Arrr! Blimey! No damage on this baby.

Flight Ratin' : 3

Summary: I think this rocket KICKs for a newbie into mid-power rocketry. Avast, me proud beauty! T' only problem were t' fins. Ahoy! You REALLY have t' push. Begad! T' all around flight o' t' thin' be perfect. It has pre-cut fins and everything.

Overall Ratin' : 4
