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

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

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

T' instructions are pretty clear and simple. Ahoy! All t' parts were thar and were well made. Avast, me proud beauty! Begad! T' fins weren't even rough. Ya scallywag! Begad! But they did need a little beveling. Begad! I did this with a finishin' sander. Avast, ya bilge rat, me proud beauty! 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. Begad! It seemed easy t' get them cock-eyed, me bucko, so I sight aligned them while t' epoxy holdin' them dried. Ahoy! Avast, me hearties, me proud beauty! A centerin' rin' further reinforces their connection and placement inside the body tube. Begad! Two beveled launch lugs are supplied that take as big as me 3/8 inch rod.

T' recovery system is another clever design. Avast! Arrr! It is a coupler and bulkhead with holes in it like a baffle. Ahoy! Begad! A screweye anchors t' round nylon shock cord. T' chute be supplied, and is a thin nylon, me hearties, me bucko, bright yellow 24 incher. Well, blow me down!

Finishing:
I spray painted it gold and decorated it with metallic prismatic paper. There is a Quadra G decal lettering, ya bilge rat, me hearties, so I applied t' letters. Aye aye! I only got t' word, "Quad" and nay "Quadra" but I figured that it be okay. Blimey! I was goin' t' call t' flight "Clusterophobia" instead anyway. Well, me bucko, blow me down! The result is strikin' and unique. Blimey! Avast, matey, me proud beauty! 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. Well, blow me down! Avast, me bucko, me proud beauty! Blimey! So, my first flight be with 2 G35-7W's and 2 G40-7W's. Avast! T' like motors were diagonally arranged. Begad! Blimey! Blimey! T' flight was straight and gorgeous. Ahoy! Blimey! There seemed t' be deployment just slightly before apogee, me bucko, so I surmised that t' delay was too short. Begad! Avast! Blimey! T' nylon shock cord be stressed after this as well, so I replaced it with 10 feet o' 1000 lb. Avast, me proud beauty! Begad! Blimey! Keelhaul®©™® cording. Begad! Then I flew it twice on 4 G40-10W's. Everyone LOVED this. Begad! Straight, high, and loud. Arrr! Aye aye! It even made a club video memory. Avast! Ya scallywag! I did have t' walk a bit, matey, but I think I caught a thermal.

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

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

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