Brief:
This kit is a single stage, ya bilge rat, matey, "fantasy scale" rocket, usin' a ring-fin for stability.

Construction:
T' kit arrived with all t' necessary parts included, me hearties, and in good shape. Avast! Blimey! Arrr! Blimey! T' balsa and t' tubes appear t' be identical t' Estes parts. T' nose cone and centerin' rings, arrr, however, I found t' be sub-standard. T' centerin' rings were very thin and flimsy- I used them, shiver me timbers, but reinforced them with bits o' Balsa t' strengthen them. Ya scallywag! Blimey! Well, ya bilge rat, blow me down! Blimey! I'd be frightened t' fly this thin' without this mod! Blimey! T' nose cone appears t' be sone cheap plastic, nay t' higher-quality stuff I'm used t' from Estes, TLP, ya bilge rat, and other companies. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Aye aye! Blimey! T' parts all went together easily enough, ya bilge rat, but t' rin' tail gave me some trouble. Aye aye! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! T' span o' t' fins was just a bit too short, so I wound up havin' t' hold t' rin' in place while t' glue dried. Aye aye! Blimey! T' rest o' t' kit was very straight-forward. Arrr! Blimey! T' finished product is a smart-lookin' ship. T' narrow fins that go on just ahead o' t' rin' are pretty fragile, shiver me timbers, matey, but t' rest is solid enough.

Finishing:
Paintin' t' kit is simple enough. Aye aye! Blimey! Prime, me hearties, spray t' whole ship white, and paint t' nose red. Avast! Blimey! After that, t' decals go on. Begad! Blimey! Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! I haven't put t' decals on mine just yet, arrr, shiver me timbers, I got distracted with some other projects, ya bilge rat, and t' rocket looks good enough without them! Blimey! Overall, I'm givin' a ratin' o' 3 for construction/finishing. T' score would be much higher if t' centerin' rings, which I consider a safety issue, arrr, were made o' sturdier stuff. Arrr! Blimey! T' poorly-fittin' ring/fin arrangement costs them as well.

Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5

Flight:
I've had two flights on me Satellite Drone so far, me hearties, both very successful. Blimey! Ya scallywag! T' first nearly ended up in a tree, but was recovered. T' second resulted in a short hike, but be otherwise uneventful. Begad! Both flights were on C6-3's.

Recovery:
This is a very light rocket for t' size o' chute that was included. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Ahoy! Blimey! I opted t' cut a spill hole in it, even before t' first flight. Blimey! Blimey! Ya scallywag! Blimey! It still drifts considerably. I'd enlarge t' spill hole, me bucko, but I'm worried about breakin' those narrow forward fins.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
T' final product is a very nice looking, unique Man-O-War. Blimey! T' quality o' materials has room for improvement, but t' design itself seems well thought-out.

Overall Rating: 3 out o' 5
