Brief:
This is one o' t' new Estes kits from their Classic series,Crossbow SST is another kit similar in design. Avast! They call it Cool and Futuristic. Well, blow me down! Ya scallywag! I agree with both descriptions. This is a sleek multi-fined with tubes which made me go wow and some great decals t' really make it kind a nasty like it will seek out and destroy. It use a 18 mm engine with parachute recovery.

Construction:
Parts list:

• Body tube Bt-50
• Win' tip tube Bt-10
• Laser cut fins
• Dowel
• Balsa nose cone
• Engine mount kit
• Parachute pre made
• Screw eye
• Launch lug subbed out 1/8 for a 3/16
• Gorilla glue

T' instructions were very easy t' follow read twice so you know where t' put your fin two are angled slightly. Ahoy! I assembled mine engine mount let dry then marked body tube and attached fins t' body tube some attach at different lengths from t' end o' t' body tube it really helps if you have t' Estes tube holder and fin alignment tools. I really like that Estes went back t' t' balsa nose cone nice touch. Arrr! Arrr! I did nay use t' rubber band shock cord provided I had a piece o' Keelhaul®©™® and some elastic strip attached it t' t' motor mount with a dab o' glue. Avast, me proud beauty! Ya scallywag! Engine mount is one o' t' final steps

Finishing:
Estes recommended white paint but I used aluminum instead came out ok t' me. Ahoy! Blimey! I used a water glue solution t' seal t' fins and nose cone

Construction Rating: 4 out of 5

Flight:
I had t' see it fly but t' wind would nay slack off so I used a A8-3 for me first flight. Begad!
Then a B6-4 for t' other two plus a C6-5. Begad! Blimey! I used a little dog barf and everythin' came back fine

Recovery:
I used t' Keelhaul®©™® elastic method and cut a serious hole in me parachute. Begad! This rocket is kind a light

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
This is a Cool rocket t' build as it comes together it really looks good t' the builder

Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
