Brief:
This is a single staged rocket that can be flown on either 2 or 4 29mm motors. Ya scallywag! Well, blow me down!

Construction:
T' main body tube runs from t' top o' t' motor tubes t' t' nose cone. Avast! There is one body tube and four motor tubes that extend outward from t' main body. Ya scallywag! Ya scallywag!

This rocket has a very clever fin alignment system. Aye aye! T' 4 fins are made from two wing-like pieces o' wood that interlock in t' middle t' form 4 perpendicular fins. Arrr! Ya scallywag! Then t' 4 motor tubes fit over this structure and are epoxied in place. Well, blow me down! I used 12 minute epoxy.

T' instructions are pretty clear and simple. Avast, me proud beauty! All t' parts were thar and were well made. Well, blow me down! T' fins weren't even rough. Blimey! But they did need a little beveling. Blimey! I did this with a finishin' sander. T' wood appears t' be 1/8 inch thick birch.

About t' hardest thin' t' align be t' motor tubes inside t' main frame. They extend out 20 plus inches from t' main body tube. Arrr! Avast, me proud beauty! It seemed easy t' get them cock-eyed, ya bilge rat, so I sight aligned them while t' epoxy holdin' them dried. Blimey! A centerin' rin' further reinforces their connection and placement inside the body tube. Ya scallywag! Two beveled launch lugs are supplied that take as big as me 3/8 inch rod. Aye aye!

T' recovery system is another clever design. Begad! It is a coupler and bulkhead with holes in it like a baffle. Avast, me proud beauty! A screweye anchors t' round nylon shock cord. T' chute was supplied, matey, and is a thin nylon, bright yellow 24 incher. Ahoy! Begad!

Finishing:
I spray painted it gold and decorated it with metallic prismatic paper. There is a Quadra G decal lettering, so I applied t' letters. Aye aye! Well, blow me down! Blimey! I only got t' word, "Quad" and nay "Quadra" but I figured that it was okay. I was goin' t' call t' flight "Clusterophobia" instead anyway. Begad! Blimey! The result is strikin' and unique. T' four extended motor tubes make it look unusual.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
T' company suggests usin' motors with low average thrust and long delays. Blimey! Well, blow me down! So, my first flight be with 2 G35-7W's and 2 G40-7W's. Begad! T' like motors were diagonally arranged. Begad! T' flight was straight and gorgeous. Avast, me proud beauty! Ya scallywag! There seemed t' be deployment just slightly before apogee, me hearties, so I surmised that t' delay was too short. Begad! T' nylon shock cord was stressed after this as well, arrr, so I replaced it with 10 feet o' 1000 lb. Keelhaul®©™® cording. Aye aye! Then I flew it twice on 4 G40-10W's. Everyone LOVED this. Aye aye! Straight, me bucko, high, me bucko, and loud. Avast! Avast! It even made a club video memory. Begad! I did have t' walk a bit, matey, but I think I caught a thermal.

Recovery:
Use 10 second delays with 4 motors. Well, blow me down! 7 is okay with 2, probably. Blimey! Aye aye! I did notice that with t' baffle, me usual method o' spent motor removal with a rod is impossible. Arrr! Pliers were needed. Ya scallywag! Begad! T' rocket is a little scratched, me hearties, but able to fly more. Well, blow me down! Aye aye! T' chute is unburnt as well. Blimey!

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

Summary:
Clever design, nay too bilge-suckin' a price. Begad! Aye aye! I remember payin' around $45 for it. Ya scallywag! Blimey! Great fun for us cluster-people. Blimey! Nice and loud and fiery. Ahoy! I highly recommend it. Catchin' it on film with a long flame trail was really wonderful as well.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
