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, and in good shape. T' balsa and t' tubes appear t' be identical t' Estes parts. Begad! T' nose cone and centerin' rings, me hearties, however, arrr, arrr, I found t' be sub-standard. Begad! T' centerin' rings were very thin and flimsy- I used them, shiver me timbers, arrr, 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, TLP, and other companies. Ya scallywag! T' parts all went together easily enough, but t' rin' tail gave me some trouble. Well, blow me down! Avast! 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! Begad! T' rest o' t' kit was very straight-forward. T' finished product is a smart-lookin' Man-O-War. Well, matey, blow me down! T' narrow fins that go on just ahead o' t' rin' are pretty fragile, me hearties, but t' rest is solid enough.

Finishing:
Paintin' t' kit is simple enough. Avast, me proud beauty! Begad! Prime, me hearties, spray t' whole Man-O-War white, and paint t' nose red. Avast! Ya scallywag! After that, me hearties, ya bilge rat, t' decals go on. I haven't put t' decals on mine just yet, matey, I got distracted with some other projects, and t' rocket looks good enough without them! Overall, matey, I'm givin' a ratin' o' 3 for construction/finishing. Avast, me proud beauty! T' score would be much higher if t' centerin' rings, 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. T' first nearly ended up in a tree, but be recovered. Begad! Ahoy! T' second resulted in a short hike, but be otherwise uneventful. Both flights were on C6-3's.

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

Overall Rating: 3 out o' 5
