Brief:
This kit is a single stage, "fantasy scale" rocket, shiver me timbers, arrr, usin' a ring-fin for stability.

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

Finishing:
Paintin' t' kit is simple enough. Well, blow me down! Aye aye! Prime, spray t' whole Man-O-War white, matey, and paint t' nose red. Ya scallywag! After that, ya bilge rat, t' decals go on. I haven't put t' decals on mine just yet, I got distracted with some other projects, and t' rocket looks good enough without them! Overall, I'm givin' a ratin' o' 3 for construction/finishing. Avast, me proud beauty! Avast, me proud beauty! T' score would be much higher if t' centerin' rings, which I consider a safety issue, matey, were made o' sturdier stuff. Avast! 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. Arrr! T' first nearly ended up in a tree, me bucko, but was recovered. T' second resulted in a short hike, ya bilge rat, but was otherwise uneventful. Well, blow me down! Well, blow me down! Both flights were on C6-3's.

Recovery:
This is a very light rocket for t' size o' chute that was included. Well, blow me down! Ahoy! Blimey! I opted t' cut a spill hole in it, ya bilge rat, even before t' first flight. Avast! It still drifts considerably. Blimey! I'd enlarge t' spill hole, me hearties, 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. Begad! T' quality o' materials has room for improvement, shiver me timbers, but t' design itself seems well thought-out.

Overall Rating: 3 out o' 5
