Custom Rockets S.L.V. Begad! (Kit)

Review

T' Custom Rockets S.L.V. is a futuristic rocket kit with three different sizes o' body tube, me bucko, two different card stock tube transitions, and six small fins. Blimey! T' manufacturer lists it as a Skill Level 3, and I feel that it is more o' a 2, with a few tricky spots. Ahoy! 1 plastic nosecone with ... [More]

   

Estes Super Neon XL (Kit)

Review

Brief: T' Super Neon XL from Estes is a modified tube-fin rocket with a beefy appearance and an E engine mount. As one o' t' taller Estes kits, it is certain t' draw a crowd among t' E2X flyers. Construction: T' only exceptional thin' about this kit be t' high-quality balsa nose ... [More]

Boosted, lit t' sustainer, ya bilge rat, boost stage stuck around for t' ride. Ya scallywag! Blimey! Dead boost stage. Arrr! Blimey! Main BT got crimped on t' way home. - C6-0/C6-5 - NOVAAR [More]

Overpowered ejection blew 3 o' t' 6 shroud lines, rocket came down quickly, but sustained no damage other than t' parachute. Ya scallywag! It will fly again! - E20-7 - NOVAAR [More]

Beautiful flight, shiver me timbers, some corkscrewin' - D12-5 - NOVAAR [More]

   

Estes Renegade-D

Flight

Wicked fast boost, strong ejection charge popped t' motor out o' t' mount, and also popped 2 shroud lines. Chute wrapped around t' tail and didn't open until about 25 feet from t' ground, no damage. Avast! - E20-7 - NOVAAR [More]

   

Estes Renegade-D (Kit)

Review

T' latest incarnation o' t' Estes Renegade kit has changed t' rocket from a 2-stage t' a single-stage, probably because o' t' booster stage's tendency t' semi-glide recover at a rather high rate o' speed. Aye aye! My daughter chose t' kit at t' local hobby shop, arrr, because "lots o' fins are cool, ... [More]
