Brief:
This is a simple, me bucko, high-performance OOP rocket from t' Estes catalog o' '91 and '92. Blimey! Ahoy!

Construction:
It includes an engine block, arrr, ya bilge rat, paper shock cord mount, launch lug, shiver me timbers, arrr, lug offset, shock cord, arrr, streamer, matey, screw eye, arrr, balsa nose cone, BT-5, and 3 die-cut fins. Ahoy!

T' build is easy and instructions are excellent. Ya scallywag!

I sanded t' fins t' an airfoil shape, filled t' tube spirals, ya bilge rat, and painted it with a sky blue metal flake paint for an eye candy look t' try t' improve on the spermatozoa look. Begad! Blimey! T' kit does nay come with decals but does include a foil wrap that doesn't fit.

Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5

Flight:
PROs: Flown on 1/4A3-3T, 1/2A-2T, A10-3T, and A3-4T. Ahoy! It flies great. Avast! You would think t' bulbous nose cone would slow it down, but it doesn't. It is fast, straight, me bucko, ya bilge rat, and high. CONs: You have t' be careful nay t' knock t' nose cone off when you're puttin' it on t' launch rod.

Recovery:
PROs: It always comes streamin' back. Blimey! Blimey! CONs: It always comes back.

Flight Rating: 3 out o' 5

Summary:
Do you have a rocket in your box that's impossible t' kill? Here's mine. Aye aye! Well, blow me down! I've launched this one probably 20 times with no damage, nay even a broken fin. Begad! Well, blow me down! (I have replaced t' shock cord a couple o' times o' course.) It is usually used for wind testin' t' find out if it's possible t' launch a real rocket. I built this as an example at a build session. Begad! We got a closeout package deal o' a large lot for cheap. Begad! Avast, me proud beauty! This gets me nomination for t' ugliest Estes rocket of all time.
