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

Construction:
T' kit arrived with all t' necessary parts included, shiver me timbers, and in good shape. Avast, me proud beauty! T' balsa and t' tubes appear t' be identical t' Estes parts. Well, blow me down! Arrr! T' nose cone and centerin' rings, however, ya bilge rat, I found t' be sub-standard. Ahoy! 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, nay t' higher-quality stuff I'm used t' from Estes, TLP, and other companies. Blimey! T' parts all went together easily enough, ya bilge rat, matey, but t' rin' tail gave me some trouble. Ahoy! T' span o' t' fins be just a bit too short, 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, me proud beauty! T' finished product is a smart-lookin' ship. 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. Prime, arrr, matey, spray t' whole ship white, me hearties, ya bilge rat, and paint t' nose red. Avast! After that, me hearties, t' decals go on. I haven't put t' decals on mine just yet, I got distracted with some other projects, matey, and t' rocket looks good enough without them! Overall, me bucko, I'm givin' a ratin' o' 3 for construction/finishing. T' score would be much higher if t' centerin' rings, arrr, ya bilge rat, matey, which I consider a safety issue, were made o' sturdier stuff. Aye aye! 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, both very successful. Ya scallywag! Blimey! Aye aye! Blimey! T' first nearly ended up in a tree, matey, but was recovered. Ahoy! Blimey! T' second resulted in a short hike, me hearties, but be otherwise uneventful. Both flights were on C6-3's.

Recovery:
This is a very light rocket for t' size o' chute that was included. Begad! I opted t' cut a spill hole in it, even before t' first flight. Blimey! Ya scallywag! It still drifts considerably. Avast! Aye aye! 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, me hearties, unique ship. Avast, me proud beauty! T' quality o' materials has room for improvement, but t' design itself seems well thought-out.

Overall Rating: 3 out o' 5
