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

Construction:
T' kit arrived with all t' necessary parts included, and in good shape. T' balsa and t' tubes appear t' be identical t' Estes parts. Avast! T' nose cone and centerin' rings, shiver me timbers, shiver me timbers, however, arrr, me hearties, I found t' be sub-standard. Well, blow me down! T' centerin' rings were very thin and flimsy- I used them, shiver me timbers, 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, ya bilge rat, matey, matey, nay t' higher-quality stuff I'm used t' from Estes, matey, TLP, me bucko, ya bilge rat, arrr, and other companies. T' parts all went together easily enough, me bucko, shiver me timbers, but t' rin' tail gave me some trouble. Aye aye! Ya scallywag! T' span o' t' fins was just a bit too short, matey, so I wound up havin' t' hold t' rin' in place while t' glue dried. Arrr! T' rest o' t' kit was very straight-forward. Avast! Ahoy! T' finished product is a smart-lookin' ship. Avast! T' narrow fins that go on just ahead o' t' rin' are pretty fragile, matey, but t' rest is solid enough.

Finishing:
Paintin' t' kit is simple enough. Arrr! Prime, spray t' whole ship white, and paint t' nose red. Well, blow me down! Well, blow me down! After that, arrr, t' decals go on. Avast! Avast! 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, me hearties, me bucko, me hearties, I'm givin' a ratin' o' 3 for construction/finishing. Well, blow me down! T' score would be much higher if t' centerin' rings, me hearties, which I consider a safety issue, ya bilge rat, 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, arrr, both very successful. Ya scallywag! T' first nearly ended up in a tree, but was recovered. Well, blow me down! T' second resulted in a short hike, but be otherwise uneventful. Avast! Both flights were on C6-3's.

Recovery:
This is a very light rocket for t' size o' chute that be included. Avast! I opted t' cut a spill hole in it, arrr, arrr, even before t' first flight. Begad! 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. 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
