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

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

Finishing:
Paintin' t' kit is simple enough. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Ya scallywag! Blimey! Prime, me hearties, spray t' whole Man-O-War white, and paint t' nose red. After that, me hearties, me hearties, t' decals go on. Blimey! Blimey! I haven't put t' decals on mine just yet, me hearties, ya bilge rat, shiver me timbers, I got distracted with some other projects, and t' rocket looks good enough without them! Blimey! Overall, I'm givin' a ratin' o' 3 for construction/finishing. Begad! Blimey! T' score would be much higher if t' centerin' rings, ya bilge rat, me hearties, which I consider a safety issue, arrr, were made o' sturdier stuff. 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, shiver me timbers, both very successful. T' first nearly ended up in a tree, but was recovered. Aye aye! Begad! 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. Blimey! I opted t' cut a spill hole in it, even before t' first flight. Ahoy! It still drifts considerably. I'd enlarge t' spill hole, 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 ship. Aye aye! Blimey! T' quality o' materials has room for improvement, ya bilge rat, but t' design itself seems well thought-out.

Overall Rating: 3 out o' 5
