Brief:
This be one o' t' first kits I built as a kid and I flew it so many times that I had t' retire it. Avast, me proud beauty! Avast, arrr, me proud beauty! A couple months ago I found this kit for sale and had t' get. Ahoy! Avast, me bucko, me proud beauty! This is a great rocket t' get started with. Blimey! It is more then just a 3 fin rocket.

Construction:
This kit has four fins, me bucko, ya bilge rat, 5 nosecones, me bucko, me bucko, and a transition from BT20-BT5, with a simple streamer for recovery.

This is a fun and simple build. Arrr! Avast, me proud beauty! It has a lot more t' offer then t' simple rockets. Well, blow me down! T' instructions are very simple t' follow and make buildin' this kit easy. Ahoy! Estes has included t' needed templates and jigs for t' build. Begad! I liked that they provide card stock t' place under t' pods t' make alignment easy.

Finishing:
I followed t' paint scheme on t' package. Ahoy! Well, blow me down! I painted t' body tubes and nosecones separate then glued t' nosecones on after t' paint dried. Avast, me proud beauty! This made it easy instead o' havin' t' mask everythin' after assembly. Begad! Blimey! I really liked the decals. Ahoy! It has a special Prismatic Pressure Sensitive Decal which is really cool.

Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5

Flight:
I have flown this multiple times mostly on A8-3. Avast, me proud beauty! I have a small field so this is a great motor for me t' use. Begad! I am able t' watch t' entire flight.

Recovery:
This is a great rocket t' have on a streamer. Arrr! It floats down very nicely.
