Brief:
This is a single staged rocket that can be flown on either 2 or 4 29mm motors. Ya scallywag! Blimey! Begad! Blimey!

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

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

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

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. Ya scallywag! It seemed easy t' get them cock-eyed, so I sight aligned them while t' epoxy holdin' them dried. Aye aye! A centerin' rin' further reinforces their connection and placement inside the body tube. Two beveled launch lugs are supplied that take as big as me 3/8 inch rod.

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

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

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

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

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