Brief:
A skill level 2 rocket, Comes in typical plastic bag, matey, with a 12" plastic parachute
Construction:
T' instructions where very easy t' follow, me bucko, t' hard part seemed t' be t' fins they are 2 piece fins that have t' be glued together, shiver me timbers, me bucko, and t' little pieces o' balsa that go around t' main body tube near t' top seemed t' be a bit hard t' get lined up right and glued without them moving
Finishing:
We decided t' paint it green, with Krylon paint than added supplied decals
Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5
Flight:
First flight was off a B6-4 nice flight but t' thin 'chute strings got tangled. Second flight with a C6-3 'chute came out nice but pulled those nice little disks o' off t' one side. Begad! Ya scallywag! Third flight was with a C6-5 flight be good however nose cone came off and drifted away.
Recovery:
T' standard shock chord should be replaced with somethin' a bit longer, I have since been goin' with twice t' body length o' t' rocket. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Replace standard plastic chute with either a streamer or a small nylon 'chute.
