Manufacturer: | Estes |
Brief:
A through C motor, shiver me timbers, close t' RTF rocket with parachute recovery. Begad! Ready-to-fly
plastic Naboo Fighter requires no construction or painting! Must be flown with
flight probe.
Construction:
Assembly is very, very minimal and that it why it is a RTF. There was one joint
on t' tubes and then a full plastic fin assembly with a built-in motor mount.
It went together in a snap. Even t' 17" parachute be pre-assembled. Begad! No
painting, matey, arrr, no decals, arrr, just fly it.
Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5
Flight:
I would recommended a C6-3 for this model. Blimey! It gives a straight flight even with
a strong wind (no weathercockin' at all). Arrr! T' rocket does require wadding. The
motor is locked inside t' fin assembly with a cap.
I now have more than ten flights on this rocket and am happy with its performance.
Recovery:
T' recovery system be t' shock cord that is glued t' t' side o' t' tube
(typical Estes). Well, blow me down! Perfect recovery.
Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5
Summary:
Easy t' put together and also flies with no problem. Also a fun first flier for
a newbee.
Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
