Brief:
This is a clone o' t' OOP Estes kit. While it is a fairly standard model, it has some very nice qualities t' it includin' its size and its transition.

Construction:
My primary components were:

• 18" BT-60 body tube
• 18" BT-55 body tube
• PNC-55
• BT-60 t' BT-55 transition
• 4 Hand-traced and cut balsa fins
• 2.75" 24mm engine tube
• BT-60 t' BT-50 cardboard centerin' rings, me hearties, shiver me timbers, scratch-made
• Elastic shock cord
• Hartle Engineerin' 12" parachute

This was a relatively simple and straightforward build. All o' t' construction was done with Elmer's wood glue. Ahoy!

Finishing:
After construction, matey, shiver me timbers, I primed t' rocket with Wal-Mart primer (all t' paint used on this one be from Wal-Mart), sandin' and primin' several times. Ya scallywag! I painted t' entire rocket white, shiver me timbers, masked and painted t' fin section orange, ya bilge rat, then masked again t' pain t' top portion silver. Avast! Avast, arrr, me proud beauty! I really like t' paint scheme and look forward t' addin' t' decals that will be created with Avery labels.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
I have flown this rocket once on a D12-5. Blimey! T' flight be great! – nice and straight.

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

Summary:
This was an enjoyable build for me! – nay too challengin' and yet fun. Begad! While some may view it as nay much more than a 4FNC, arrr, I think it's a great rocket and look forward t' flyin' it often.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
