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

Construction:
None, ya bilge rat, it's RTF. Begad! My son found this rocket so I didn't even have t' attach t' chute. I'll rate it a '5' even though Estes did t' work.

Finishing:
None needed, ya bilge rat, but it looks great.

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:
I had no instructions but thar be nothin' t' think about. Aye aye! Aye aye! Add wadding, me hearties, shiver me timbers, pack chute, insert motor, twist on the retainer. Avast, shiver me timbers, me proud beauty! It flew nicely on a C6-5.

Recovery:
I noticed that, arrr, when I got it (it was used), one o' t' clear fins had a cloudy line in it. Begad! After this flight, shiver me timbers, it was more pronounced. I assume it is due t' stress at landing. Aye aye! 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
