Brief:
A light small 29mm rocket with a stealth like appearance. Begad! A true departure from t' traditional Loc kits.

Construction:
Single body tube design, with 2 large wood fins and 4 smaller stabilizin' fins on t' outer ends.

This be me first Loc Precision kit, me hearties, so I was nay sure what t' expect in terms o' quality. Aye aye! Begad! After openin' t' package and examinin' t' contents, matey, matey, shiver me timbers, I was very satisfied. T' tubes were smooth and stiff, ya bilge rat, with no dents. T' fins were straight with no warping.

T' instructions were very comprehensive considerin' this was t' beta test kit. Avast! Well, blow me down! I decided t' make me own fin alignment lines on t' body tube instead o' usin' t' fin alignment template supplied with t' kit. I be a little skeptical about t' paper wound launch lug. Begad! It seemed a little tight and bulky, but I went with it anyway. Blimey! Aye aye! It turned out t' work just fine. Aye aye! T' shroud that went over t' launch lug is made by splittin' a length o' supplied body tube.

I assembled all t' fin components usin' Aeropoxy and added fillets t' make t' joints stronger as I intended t' push this kit t' t' extreme t' see how it handled.

Finishing:
After fillin' in t' grooves and sandin' t' entire surface, t' rocket was ready for painting. I used 2 coats o' flat black Krylon t' stay with t' stealth look. Blimey! Blimey! Well, blow me down! Blimey! I intended t' put decals on before t' first flight but I ran out o' time and wanted t' fly.

With all t' fins and cuttin' t' shroud I would nay recommend this as a beginners kit.

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:
I wanted a good engine for t' first flight and t' largest one recommended in t' instructions (a G38-7) sounded a little too slow for t' way I built t' rocket. A short conversation with Larry at Rocketmotion and I decided t' go with an Aerotech G80-10. Blimey! So I friction fit t' motor in t' adapter and fit t' adapter in t' body tube. Arrr! I then put about ¼ cup o' t' recovery material that came with t' kit (Affectionately known as dog barf) and be off t' t' pad.

At launch it took off fast, shiver me timbers, straight and suprisingly quiet. Begad! At an estimated apogee o' 2400 Ft. Begad! t' rocket arched over and t' parachute ejected (couldn't ask for a better delay). Arrr! It landed about 100 ft. Avast, me proud beauty! from t' launch pad.

Recovery:
T' only damage after recovery be a scorched parachute from nay enough wadding. Avast! Well, blow me down! T' elastic shock cord held up fine. Well, blow me down! I wish I had more time t' launch it with a bigger motor, arrr, but it was near t' end o' t' day. Avast, shiver me timbers, me proud beauty! I don't particularly care for t' recovery waddin' that comes with t' kit. Arrr! I intend t' add a Keelhaul®©™ flame shield.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
Overall this is an excellent kit, matey, this will be one o' t' favorites in me fleet. Avast! Ya scallywag! It is robust enough t' take larger motors, yet at a built weight o' about 13oz. Aye aye! Begad! It is light enough t' fly lower powered motors and still have plenty o' fun.

Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
