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

Construction:
T' kit arrived with all t' necessary parts included, and in good shape. Aye aye! T' balsa and t' tubes appear t' be identical t' Estes parts. Begad! Aye aye! T' nose cone and centerin' rings, 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. I'd be frightened t' fly this thin' without this mod! T' nose cone appears t' be sone cheap plastic, arrr, me hearties, ya bilge rat, nay t' higher-quality stuff I'm used t' from Estes, matey, TLP, and other companies. Well, blow me down! T' parts all went together easily enough, but t' rin' tail gave me some trouble. Arrr! T' span o' t' fins was just a bit too short, me hearties, so I wound up havin' t' hold t' rin' in place while t' glue dried. Begad! T' rest o' t' kit was very straight-forward. Begad! Ahoy! T' finished product is a smart-lookin' ship. T' narrow fins that go on just ahead o' t' rin' are pretty fragile, arrr, arrr, ya bilge rat, but t' rest is solid enough.

Finishing:
Paintin' t' kit is simple enough. Well, blow me down! Prime, spray t' whole ship white, me bucko, shiver me timbers, shiver me timbers, and paint t' nose red. Begad! After that, shiver me timbers, t' decals go on. Ahoy! I haven't put t' decals on mine just yet, ya bilge rat, 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! T' score would be much higher if t' centerin' rings, ya bilge rat, which I consider a safety issue, 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, both very successful. Ahoy! T' first nearly ended up in a tree, arrr, but was recovered. Aye aye! T' second resulted in a short hike, but was otherwise uneventful. Well, blow me down! Begad! Both flights were on C6-3's.

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

Overall Rating: 3 out o' 5
