Brief:
Beginner Rocket, single staged with streamer recovery.

Construction:
Single body tube BT-20 with a BT-5 MMT, Basic 3FNC rocket with t' only twist bein' the Jig-Tech fins.

Excellent rocket kit for t' first time builder!!! Blimey! T' instructions were very detailed and me 7 year old second grader be able t' follow them. Since I had 2 x 45 minute sessions t' build t' rocket with 10 students (4th and 5th grader mix) I re-ordered t' allow maximum glue dryin' time. But t' order o' steps as comes with t' kit is fine also.

T' only tools needed t' build t' kits were:

• Glue
• Sand paper (optional)
• Scissors

Well designed kit t' no damage be incurred durin' launch or recovery.

(We did have one student step on his rocket...)

Finishing:
Most kits were painted with water based paint by t' kids, t' kit I built we flew unfinished. Avast! Blimey! Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! All flew well.

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:
T' 1/4A3-3T's are a little under powered for this kit. Aye aye! However, shiver me timbers, shiver me timbers, all flew acceptably. Begad!

I would recommend a 1/2A3-2T for first flights. Avast!

I also flew them on A10-3T and they flew very well on this motor.

Recovery:
Keelhaul®©™® thread mounted t' t' MMT, me hearties, t' shock cord t' NC. Avast! T' streamer was tied t' t' NC.

System worked very well.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
I have some spare parts and plan on makin' a tumble recover version o' t' same rocket. T' Streamer system is excellent but I think a tumble recover version will work as well and with less complexity.

Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5

Other:
This kit exceeded me expectations. Begad! Aye aye! For a Student classroom kit. Arrr! Ya scallywag! I could nay have had a better kit t' build.
