Brief:
This is a very versitile kit made by Aerotech. Begad! T' motor selection is excellent. Ahoy! this rocket can fly on 24mm and 29mm single use or RMS motors. Avast, me proud beauty! Ya scallywag! T' kit provies a 29mm mount and a 24mm mount adapter.

Construction:
T' parts are top quality, shiver me timbers, sturdy and include:

• Motor adaptor tube
• Adaptor rings
• E spacer tube
• Thrust ring
• Thrust rin' flange
• Motor tube
• Motor hook
• Fin-Lok rings - 4 fin
• Centerin' rings
• Fins
• Coolin' mesh
• Ejection gas baffle
• Screw eye
• Shock cord
• Body tube
• Launch lugs
• Nose cone (blow molded)
• Adhesive decal sheet
• Parachute (rip-stop nylon)
• "F" spacer tubes
• Channel tunnels
• Instructions

T' instructions were straight forward and easy t' follow. T' actual build be easier than a lot o' smaller model rockets I have built, arrr, mostly because thar isn't any balsa t' deal with. Arrr! Aye aye! T' nose cone and fins are plastic and CA is used throughout t' build.

Finishing:
Finishin' was fairly easy. Arrr! T' instructions caution t' builder t' make sure t' paint is compatible with high impact polystyrene plastic. Well, blow me down! I used Painters Touch and had no problems.

I selected t' paint t' model close t' what t' box cover art reflects. Blimey! I did nay fill t' tube spirals which weren't all that bad. I simply applied primer, sanded, matey, re-applied primer and then t' top coats. Begad!

T' kit utilized stick on decals which are nay me favorite type o' decal, arrr, matey, but they went on well and have nay come off after over ten flights.

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:
T' rocket does nay require waddin' because it uses a Labyrinth ejection gas coolin' system which works very well.

So far I have launched t' rocket on t' followin' 24mm RMS motors; E18-4w, me hearties, me hearties, E28-4W, arrr, F12-3J.

I've had some excellent flights and a couple o' poor ones. Avast! T' F12 didn't push t' rocket t' comfortable altitude, matey, while t' E28 really gets it up in a hurry. Begad! On t' very first launch on an E28-4T one o' t' legs o' me Estes Maxi Launch pad snapped off under t' stress o' t' launch. Ya scallywag! Blimey! Since that time I haven't had any other launch pad related issues.

This is a great flier. Arrr! It's a very rugged rocket. Blimey! T' tip o' one fin did break on one landing, but that's because it landed directly on a rock. I was able t' repair t' damage t' me satisfaction with no adverse affects.

Recovery:
T' rocket uses a long elastic shock cord that attaches to t' ejection baffle with a screw eye. T' chute is a bright yellow rip-stop nylong chute which does a very good job of bringin' t' rocket down safely.

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

Summary:
This is a great kit for someone lookin' t' step up from t' standard low power model build t' somethin' that uses larger engines, arrr, has a lot o' punch and can take a lot o' abuse. Begad!
