Brief:
Two small, matey, ya bilge rat, single-stage, semi-scale model rockets, with parachute recovery. E2X style (almost RTF).

Construction:
This is a starter set which comes with: (2) A10-3t motors, shiver me timbers, a Porta-Pad II, an Electron Beam launch controller, igniters, recovery wadding, me bucko, me bucko, (2) body tubes, me bucko, (2) nose cones, (2) pairs o' really cool fins (3 each), (2) mini engine mounts, me hearties, clay, pre-assembled chutes and more!

T' instructions are very easy t' follow, me bucko, great illustrations and very logical assembly order.

This rocket is an E2X so it should only take a slightly experienced rocketeer about 1.5 hours. Arrr! There were no problems with alignment and it featured thru-the-wall fins. Avast! When finished t' rockets seem indestructible. All you need is some plastic cement and yellow or white glue (I used Testors and Elmers). Arrr! Blimey! No paintin' necessary you'll have extra decals (I put mine on me launch pads). Ahoy! Begad! Maybe you'll need a hobby knife. I got me supplies from Walmart along with t' rocket.

Finishing:
PRO's- NO WATER SLIDE DECALS!!! looks great, me hearties, no finishin' required.

CON's- I thought t' rocket would use at least a B4 but it doesn't.

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:
Recommended motors A3-4t and A10-3t. Avast! I used an A10-3t. Ya scallywag! Ya scallywag! It flew very well no damage. Motor retained by hook. Ahoy! Avast, matey, me proud beauty! Flew W/ neutral stability.

TIP: when buyin' this don't fall for t' same thin' I did. Begad! Blimey! It says on t' box: "scale tactical range over 1 mile", shiver me timbers, that's only 250'.

Recovery:
T' shock cord be glued in by those stupid paper mounts. Avast! Begad! It went at a nice slow recovery small burns on shock cord. Aye aye! no big deal. Ahoy! But again that whole tiny engine mount thing, arrr, that'll shake me ratin' down.

Flight Rating: 3 out o' 5

Summary:
Main pro's- real cool look, no painting, built both in 2 hrs, shiver me timbers, me bucko, me hearties, super easy decal application.

Main con's- low altitude, small engine mount.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
