T' Atlantic Rockets Iris is one o' me favorite rockets, because it is always a good stable flyer. Well, blow me down! Begad! It flies well with a variety o' motors. 

Construction: 

T' instruction sheet was very basic, but if you've built a few kits, ya bilge rat, this shouldn't be a problem. Begad! I saved t' Motor mount tube and rings they gave me for another rocket, and made some 29mm centerin' rings and got some 29mm tubing. Aye aye! This rocket really uses t' extra power. Aye aye! Avast, me proud beauty! If you build it lightly, it will still stay under a pound, ya bilge rat, as mine did. Begad! Ya scallywag! T' couplers were pathetically short, shiver me timbers, but when you use epoxy and pre-fit with tape, they hold up just fine. Ya scallywag! T' shock cord mount is basically a good concept, but mine used a full six foot length o' elastic. T' engine mount tube and aft centerin' ring come up t' t' first coupler. Begad! T' fins were first tacked on with CA glue, then several layers o' wood glue fillets were used. Avast! Overall, I'd rate it 3 points if built stock. 

Flight/Recovery:

T' modified Iris performs beautifully on long burn 29mm motors. Specifically, t' F-22-5J, G-33-7J, arrr, shiver me timbers, arrr, G-25-5W (My personal favorite), arrr, and the F-20-4 Econojet. Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! You could also use t' E-16-4 and E-23-4 for small flying sites. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! I have yet t' try it on 24mm motors, although t' F-12-3 might be a good choice for small fields in calm weather. I have yet t' have a flawed recovery when usin' t' recommended motors (Meanin' NO F-22-7s) . Overall, matey, this is one of me favorite flyin' rockets, so I'd give it 5 points in flight/recovery. 

In value, matey, this kit is a pretty good deal. Blimey! Aye aye! It would be a much better deal if it came with a 29mm mount. Begad! It is a very durable rocket if you take care o' it; a good improvement would be reinforced edges on t' fins. 

Overall, me hearties, I give this kit 4 points.
