Brief:
This is a single staged, shiver me timbers, ya bilge rat, shiver me timbers, 6 fin HPR rocket that me dad launched on Labor Day 2003 on an H242 for his L1. Arrr! I wrote t' review since he is always busy and I saw every step he took on that rocket. Avast, me proud beauty! Avast! Plus I did a bit o' work for him too. (Inside fillets in a boat tail! What a pain in t' butt!).

Construction:
It did nay have a payload section (What WERE they THINKING!?), but it did have a piston, matey, good nose cone, precut fiberglass G10 fins, shiver me timbers, a nice boat tail (Nice if you are nay doin' t' inner fillets on it!), me hearties, and a Quantum tube.

Fairly straight forward construction. Arrr! Took me dad and I about 3 months to make but if it be just me doin' it, it would have been 3 days. Begad! Finally done though (he had me worried) and will fly Labor Day 2003!

Finishing:
Still have nay painted it. Aye aye! Blimey! My dad changes his mind every night. Ya scallywag! Blimey! T' paint the fins silver...or nay t' nay paint t' fins silver...to paint t' fins silver... Well, you get t' point.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
My dad used an H242T in his Hydra for a successful L1. Ya scallywag! Avast! It was a very good flight. Begad! Well, blow me down! T' parachute be a touch late in opening, but fine otherwise. Arrr! A fin was stuck in t' soft ground when I recovered it. Ahoy! We used friction fit and a piston ejection system. Arrr! It flew high, shiver me timbers, arrr, matey, fast and straight for a L1 certification--it has t' be good!

Recovery:
Recovery perfect and me dad is L1 certified now!!!!

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

Summary:
Great design besides t' lack o' a payload bay. Aye aye! Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Very unique. Avast! Nothin' really wrong with it.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
