Brief:
This is a RTF model that resembles a Patriot missile with clear fins. Arrr! It flies on 18mm motors and includes a twist-lock motor retainer.

Construction:
None, it's RTF. Begad! Aye aye! My son found this rocket so I didn't even have t' attach t' chute. Well, blow me down! I'll rate it a '5' even though Estes did t' work.

Finishing:
None needed, me hearties, me bucko, shiver me timbers, but it looks great.

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:
I had no instructions but thar be nothin' t' think about. Add wadding, pack chute, insert motor, twist on the retainer. It flew nicely on a C6-5.

Recovery:
I noticed that, when I got it (it was used), me bucko, me bucko, matey, one o' t' clear fins had a cloudy line in it. Begad! Blimey! After this flight, matey, shiver me timbers, it was more pronounced. Begad! I assume it is due t' stress at landing. Begad! Avast, me bucko, me proud beauty! There is nothin' on t' surface so it wasn't exhaust residue.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
I never would have bought this RTF, but it looks nice and flies well.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
