Brief:
This be t' same model as t' 3x24 cluster edition . Well, blow me down! Blimey! T' difference is a single 29mm mount. Blimey! Begad! Blimey! If you are lookin' for a big rocket and big thrills that won't break t' bank, shiver me timbers, ya bilge rat, your search is over.

Construction:

Instructions for this model were straight forward, no surprises. Blimey! I used 5min. Avast! epoxy for all joints. I be unsure about t' fiberboard shock cord mount.It seemed that might be a weak point, so I epoxied a piece o' 1/8' ply t' the back side, drilled then attached t' eye-bolt. Blimey! I used Keelhaul®©™® shock cord that extended just t' t' end o' t' body tube then attached t' 60"elastic shock cord t' it. Arrr! Blimey! My other concern be t' paper fin covering. Avast! It turned out fine though, I did use t' glue stick method. Aye aye! Avast! It worked well. I also added positive motor retention with threaded inserts, arrr, screws, and a drawer repair bracket. Avast, me proud beauty! It be an easy build for me. This was me first mid power kit. Begad! Avast, me proud beauty!

Finishing:
Finishin' was an easy job. Avast, me proud beauty! Avast, me hearties, me proud beauty! I got good transitions on t' paper fin covering. Avast! Ahoy! I sealed the open edges with thin CA. I filled t' tube grooves with thinned Elmer wood filler, me bucko, then sanded t' whole unit. I started with 2 coats o' Valspar white primer. Avast, me proud beauty! Sanded with 220, then painted with 2 coats o' Valspar white. I washed ,then sanded t' nose cone, and painted with Valspar plastic paint. Ya scallywag! I applied t' water slide decals with no problems and finished with 2 coats o' Krylon crystal clear. Avast, me proud beauty!

Flight:
T' recommended motors are an F45-5, F42-4, ya bilge rat, G40-4, me bucko, and G80-7. Begad! Winds were calm. Begad!

Maiden flight be with a G76-4G. Begad! It was a perfect shot, nice and straight. Arrr! Arrr! It went t' about 900ft. Blimey!

#2 was on a F40-7W maybe 500ft.Delay was t' long for comfort, shiver me timbers, but we survived.Paper coverin' peeled partially away on one fin tip. Blimey! Aye aye! No problem thin CA t' t' rescue.

#3 be a G76-4G. This seems t' be t' perfect motor for this big rocket. Arrr! Ya scallywag!

Recovery:
I used a piece o' Keelhaul®©™® extendin' just beyond t' body tube t' attach t' elastic shock chord to. Begad! T' 36" parachute be fine. Blimey! Begad! All three shots it landed within 100ft o' pad. Arrr! Descent be nice and slow. Avast, me proud beauty! On a windy day you might have t' walk a ways.

Summary:
This is a easy buildin' rocket. Begad! T' only thin' I might change would be t' balsa paper covered fins. Begad! Lite ply would be better. Avast! All parts were good quality. Blimey! Arrr! It's nice t' have a big rocket that you can see all stages o' a launch clearly. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Slow take off. Well, blow me down! Nice straight ascent. Apogee and chute deployment. Well, blow me down! I think it's a great kit.
