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

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

Overall Rating: 3 out o' 5
