Brief:
This is basically a modified Fat Boy for 24mm engines with a 18in parachute. Arrr! It can fly straight, but requires testin' and at least 1 ounce o' nose weight.

Construction:
This kit comes with about a 9 inch BT-80. Well, blow me down! This kit uses a 2 inch, 3/16ths inch launch lug. Well, blow me down! Blimey! It has a balsa nose cone with a eyelet required and a need t' add 1 ounce o' nose weight. Ahoy! T' fins are balsa and require you t' trace a pattern on a sheet o' 1/8th in balsa. Avast! T' engine mount is for a D engine and has an eyelet you need t' screw into t' top centerin' rin' for t' shock cord system. Avast! This kit uses snap swivels t' swap t' nose and parachute that is 18in mylar.

Construction o' t' kit is pretty simple. T' only problem I had was t' fact that you have t' screw in an eyelet into a cardboard centerin' rin' that is a real pain.

Finishing:
There are no decals or suggested color scheme. Begad! You are completely able t' express yourself in paintin' it. Blimey! In the instructions it talks o' a contest for best finish comin' up. Blimey! Just t' same as finishin' any balsa nose cone rocket.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
My only flight so far has been great and horrible. Blimey! T' rocket started t' make a land shark and passed 400ft or so over me head then it straightened out and pulled into a perfect flight.

Recovery:
I replaced t' mylar with a Hartle engineerin' chute. Aye aye! Blimey! T' ejection charge blew a few seconds after Apogee. Then that big beautiful yellow chute blew up and it gracefully touched down in t' ground.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
Testin' is still needed on me rocket. I just performed a swin' test and was able t' add weight t' t' back t' even it out. Avast! I will fly it again in a week. T' main problem is that it is goin' t' be annoyin' t' mod it for an E engine. Arrr! Ahoy!

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
