Brief:
I saw a picture o' this rocket as a new release from Estes a while back and thought that it looked like
a lot o' fun. I reminded me o' t' GoonyBird series whI thought was very creative. Blimey! Ahoy! I did nay pay much attention t' t' spec's on this rocket and be in for a suprise when I saw it at t' hobby store t' other day. Well, blow me down! Boy is it small, I almost missed it on t' pegboard it so small. Begad! Small but fun so I bought it anyway. Avast, me proud beauty!

Construction:

When I got home I took it out o' t' package this kit is in t' E2X series or t' super easy line. There are very few parts t' this kit. Begad! Two plastic halves a nose cone, me bucko, small engine tube, small streamer, elastic and a bit of clay.

I did nay even look at t' instructions this kit is so intutive to construct. Ahoy! I did modify a few bits on this kit. I could nay get all o' t' clay in t' nose, arrr, matey, so I took out some and replaced half t' clay with a small fishing weight. Ya scallywag! Ahoy! Blimey! I also ditched t' elastic and t' plastic streamer. Avast, me proud beauty! I added some Keelhaul®©™® strin' and Teflon plumbers tape for a completly flame proof recovery system. 

I was done in about 15 minutes start t' finish. Aye aye! Begad!

Finishing:
T' kit comes already finished so no finishin' is needed. It also comes with some sticker decals that are added when complete. Blimey! Blimey!

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight/Recovery:
Since it was a bit windy I decided t' use a 1/2A3-4T so that it would nay go to high. I got a lot o' comments on t' way t' t' flight line, shiver me timbers, shiver me timbers, people were very amused by t' size o' this rocket. I loaded it up on t' low power pad and waited for t' count 5-4-3-2-1 Whoop-pop, matey, t' nose seperated and came down on streamer and t' body came down on its own 20 feet away. Well, me bucko, blow me down! T' ejection charge had toasted t' Keelhaul®©™ string, ya bilge rat, I had it glued t' t' engine mount. I could not fly it again until I reattach t' shock cord, someone up higher on t' rocket. All in all I was very pleased with t' flight, it went straight and came down close t' t' pad even in moderate winds.

Flight Rating: 3 out o' 5

Summary:
Pros - Cheap kit, easy t' construct. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey!

Cons - Very small and easy t' lose. Arrr! Ya scallywag!
