Brief:
T' Forte' is a single staged HPR capable rocket. Blimey! It can fly on as little as an F up t' an H or I, ya bilge rat, and maybe with a lot o' reinforcements, a J350. It is a fairly basic rocket, me hearties, me second mid-power. Avast, me proud beauty! Aye aye! I probably could have made it without instructions, arrr, matey, it's so easy.

Construction:
It does nay have a payload section (Waaaaaaaaahhhhhhh), arrr, but I plan on addin' one soon. Arrr! It has a heavy duty cardboard airframe slotted for 4 fins. Arrr! T' fins and t' centerin' rings are plywood. Ahoy! It has an elastic shock cord and a standard through-the-plastic nose cone loop attachment.

There be only one half page o' instructions, but it be more that you needed t' make t' rocket anyway. Blimey! There be one illustration. Avast! T' build was easy and it took me a few days o' workin' 1 or two hours a day.

Finishing:
Easy t' paint. Avast, me proud beauty! Just do what is normal.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
Flew straight on a G80-4T, matey, ejection charge nay enough t' blow chute. Aye aye! some may have leaked. Blimey! I had a Nomex® blanket t' replace wadding. Avast! Ya scallywag! T' rocket fell from over 1,000 feet and nay a scratch on it after impact. What a tough rocket! I used a home-sewn chute.

Recovery:
I do nay know how fast or slow it would have come down if t' parachute came out. Begad! That flight it came down rather slowly, for a 3 inch diameter rocket with tumble recovery. Very rugged & nice looking. Begad! It is one o' me new favorites.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
This is a very rugged rocket. I think t' motor tube should be longer, ya bilge rat, me hearties, t' shock cord could be longer and tougher, and t' fins could be larger but it is an easy build, ya bilge rat, is very inexpensive, and can put in some very impressive flights.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
