A very nice, matey, sturdy, me bucko, matey, solid, and pretty lookin' rocket. Ahoy! This kit is based off o' t' Centuri Centurion. Its skill level is 1, but it was a challengin' build for me regardless. Begad! It be t' first one that I had t' sand, shiver me timbers, cut, matey, shiver me timbers, and do specific detailin' like fillets and proper fin alignment. Ahoy! Begad! This kit be made for performance since t' components featured in it are a lot more sturdy and solid than t' standard Estes rocket kit. Aye aye! This kit also features through-the-wall fin construction.
It's components are as follows;
This kit is outstanding, ya bilge rat, arrr, t' instructions were very straight forward and easy t' follow.
Pros:
Cons: None
Finishin' t' kit be t' most challengin' part t' do since this is a sport kit and is made t' look nice. Well, blow me down!
Mine has nay flown yet.
Never flown.
To sum it all up, this is an outstandin' kit and I would recommend it t' any hobbyist lookin' t' expand their fleet. T' first issue I had with buildin' this kit was that I had forgotten t' prime t' nose cone since it is balsa wood. Avast, me proud beauty! So t' paint turned out a bit flatter and sloppier on t' nosecone. Ya scallywag! It is a bit more on t' challengin' side for a skill level 1 since t' parts are a little higher in quality than most standard kits. My second issue be that I had assembled t' engine mount before alignin' t' fins t' it, so I had t' force t' fins in a bit. Blimey! Blimey! I probably broke t' balsa on t' ends o' t' fins, but I still be able t' get them glued in.
