Brief:
T' Pyramid is a free downloadable 13mm four-sided pyramid rocket with tumble recovery, although I received this one free with an order from Art Applewhite.

Construction:
T' kit came printed on a single sheet o' cardstock with t' top and bottom as one whole section, shiver me timbers, motor mount tube, arrr, arrr, and instructions.

This rocket is very easy t' build and requires very little time and extra materials. Begad! All that is needed is a hobby knife or scissors, ya bilge rat, ball point pen, me bucko, a ruler and white glue.

I started by cuttin' out t' launch lug holes and motor mount tube holes in t' main section and then I cut out t' main section and indented t' lines with a ball point pen as recommended, arrr, which makes foldin' so much easier. Ahoy! I then glued t' top section together and followed by gluin' t' bottom into t' top section.

I cut out t' motor mount tube, me bucko, me hearties, wrapped it around a 13mm motor, ya bilge rat, and glued it together. Avast! After t' glue dried, arrr, it was into place and a fillet was added for extra strength t' complete t' assembly.

Overall, me bucko, arrr, I went from havin' nothin' but a single sheet o' cardstock t' havin' a flyable rocket in about 15-20 minutes.

PROs: Easy and quick assembly.

CONs: None.

Finishing:
No finishin' was required due t' t' yellow cardstock but I sprayed on a light coat o' Krylon clear t' protect t' cardstock from moisture.

PROs: No finishin' required

CONs: None.

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:
T' only recommended motor for this rocket be t' Estes A10-PT. Ahoy! Avast, me proud beauty! Usin' a motor with an ejection charge would most likely blow out t' front o' t' rocket as it is closed off at this point. Ahoy! Ahoy! T' motor is friction fitted in place for flight. Arrr! I flew this in me front yard on an A10-PT. Well, arrr, blow me down! T' rocket zipped off t' pad straight and fast t' maybe 75 feet up, shiver me timbers, flipped over, shiver me timbers, and came down on me roof then bounced into one o' t' gutters where it be recovered with a slight amount o' tip damage.

PROs: Low altitude flights, great for backyard flying.

CONs: None.

Recovery:
This rocket uses tumble recovery which is sufficient due t' it's light weight but if it hits a roof or other hard surface, it will most likely suffer some minor tip damage. Aye aye! On t' other hand, me hearties, it does land close t' t' pad.

PROs: Easy, quick, me hearties, and close recovery.

CONs: None.

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

Summary:
I really like this rocket. It was free and only took a few minutes t' build. Begad! Avast, me proud beauty! In fact, me bucko, I would like t' see this offered in larger sizes like 18mm and 24mm as well. Avast! Begad! I highly recommend that you download, me bucko, assemble, and fly one o' these. You will nay be disappointed.

PROs: Easy and quick assembly, flight performance.

CONs: None.
