Brief:
This is a skill level 1 rocket Estes says is a great first rocket. Ahoy! It has a quick release motor mount, shiver me timbers, a plastic fin unit and a parachute. Ya scallywag! T' parts o' t' rocket all come colored red, so no paintin' is involved if you don't want to.

Construction:
T' rocket comes with t' motor mount, arrr, shiver me timbers, ya bilge rat, t' main body tube, t' 2 piece plastic nose cone, arrr, shock cord and parachute.

T' directions are classic Estes fare, arrr, and are well illustrated for those whom this may be their first rocket. Well, blow me down! I used 5 minute epoxy, just because I be goin' t' fly this kit a lot. Avast, ya bilge rat, me proud beauty! It goes almost 1200 feet.

Finishing:
Everythin' is very simple t' put together.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
I have flown this kit almost 20 times, arrr, me bucko, and usually use C6-7's. Blimey! Blimey! Avast! Blimey! It actually goes fairly well on A8-3's also. Well, blow me down! Blimey! I did find an old B14-7 and I thought I would never find it. Ya scallywag! Blimey! Begad! Blimey! It screamed!

Recovery:
Excellent recovery, ya bilge rat, I use a streamer instead o' t' chute for close recovery.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
Pro - excellent first rocket, very solid construction and amazingly fun t' fly. Avast, me proud beauty!
Con - should come with a streamer

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
