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

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

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

Finishing:
Easy t' paint. Just do what is normal.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
Flew straight on a G80-4T, me hearties, me bucko, ejection charge nay enough t' blow chute. Ahoy! some may have leaked. I had a Nomex® blanket t' replace wadding. Aye aye! T' rocket fell from over 1,000 feet and nay a scratch on it after impact. Avast! 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. That flight it came down rather slowly, me bucko, for a 3 inch diameter rocket with tumble recovery. Very rugged & nice looking. It is one o' me new favorites.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
This is a very rugged rocket. Begad! Aye aye! I think t' motor tube should be longer, t' shock cord could be longer and tougher, and t' fins could be larger but it is an easy build, matey, is very inexpensive, me bucko, and can put in some very impressive flights.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
