Brief:
This kit is a single stage, "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. Ya scallywag! T' nose cone and centerin' rings, me hearties, me bucko, arrr, however, I found t' be sub-standard. Begad! Well, blow me down! T' centerin' rings were very thin and flimsy- I used them, matey, but reinforced them with bits o' Balsa t' strengthen them. Ahoy! Well, arrr, blow me down! I'd be frightened t' fly this thin' without this mod! T' nose cone appears t' be sone cheap plastic, me bucko, nay t' higher-quality stuff I'm used t' from Estes, TLP, and other companies. Avast! T' parts all went together easily enough, shiver me timbers, me bucko, matey, but t' rin' tail gave me some trouble. Begad! Well, matey, blow me down! 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. Blimey! T' rest o' t' kit was very straight-forward. Ahoy! 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, spray t' whole Man-O-War white, and paint t' nose red. Aye aye! After that, matey, t' decals go on. Well, blow me down! Arrr! I haven't put t' decals on mine just yet, I got distracted with some other projects, me bucko, and t' rocket looks good enough without them! Overall, ya bilge rat, I'm givin' a ratin' o' 3 for construction/finishing. Avast, me proud beauty! T' score would be much higher if t' centerin' rings, matey, arrr, which I consider a safety issue, were made o' sturdier stuff. Aye aye! Avast, me proud beauty! 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. Blimey! T' first nearly ended up in a tree, but be recovered. Well, blow me down! Begad! T' second resulted in a short hike, but was otherwise uneventful. Well, blow me down! Both flights were on C6-3's.

Recovery:
This is a very light rocket for t' size o' chute that be included. Aye aye! I opted t' cut a spill hole in it, matey, even before t' first flight. Aye aye! It still drifts considerably. Aye aye! Avast! I'd enlarge t' spill hole, shiver me timbers, 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. Avast! T' quality o' materials has room for improvement, me hearties, but t' design itself seems well thought-out.

Overall Rating: 3 out o' 5
