Brief: This was me first Aerotech rocket. Blimey! I found it easy enough for a rocketeer that has built 5 or so smaller rockets. Ya scallywag! This is a good rocket it you are just gettin' into t' Aerotech Engines or nay familiar with CA glue. Aye aye! It is NOT staged but has an 18 inch 'chute. Begad! On a F25, arrr, me hearties, ya bilge rat, It goes about 1500 feet.

Construction: All t' parts were thar and none were broken. T' packagin' is GREAT. Aye aye! Begad! Blimey! It comes in a box that can be used for anythin' and all t' parts are wrapped up in plastic.

T' instructions were t' thin' that makes Aerotech kits so easy t' build. Avast! They have detailed pictures o' t' rocket at each step. Well, blow me down! Avast, me proud beauty! They also have a cross-section on what t' whole thin' looks like after t' buildin' process. Blimey! I think even if you make a small slip, these rockets will still fly great.Oh, but one thing, me hearties, make sure t' glue t' fins in with slow dryin' glue and make sure t' press t' fins in all t' way into t' tube. Aye aye! You will really have t' press t' get them in.

Finishing: I would paint t' black fin first, arrr, actually, arrr, and t' red nose cone really looks good and has good visibility.

Construction Rating: 4

Flight: I used an E15-7W for me first flight. Avast, me proud beauty! Begad! It be a GREAT flight. Aye aye! Very good if you want t' take pictures. Begad! Blimey! Maybe a little shorter delay time though. Blimey! For t' second flight I used a G40-7W. Begad! No pictures taken, no questions asked , shiver me timbers, arrr, everyone be awed. Arrr! Well, blow me down! For its third flight I used a G80-7W. Ya scallywag! Same as G40! Same as G40! Less smoke, ya bilge rat, arrr, more noise. It soared straight up. Well, blow me down! It soared straight up. Blimey! If you plan on flying
on a G , get your car ready though. Begad! It has a motor hook system. No waddin' baffler unit.

Recovery: T' recovery be fine. Aye aye! T' recovery was fine. Aye aye! A little fast. T' shock cord be t' underwear elastic type. Aye aye! Aye aye! Does nay need tubular Keelhaul®©™ though. Begad! T' shock cord is tied into t' rocket via a eye screw. I am upgradin' t' a 20-inch chute next time I get around t' it though. Aye aye! Aye aye! No damage on this baby.

Flight Ratin' : 3

Summary: I think this rocket KICKs for a newbie into mid-power rocketry. Well, blow me down! T' only problem were t' fins. Well, blow me down! You REALLY have t' push. Ya scallywag! T' all around flight o' t' thin' was perfect. Blimey! It has pre-cut fins and everything.

Overall Ratin' : 4
