Brief:
Single-stage, matey, wide-body rocket for carryin' small GI-Joe or other small objects for ejection at apogee and recovery by parachute. Well, blow me down! Ahoy! Nose cone recovers by streamer.

Construction:
T' kit includes:

• Standard Estes white BT-60 body tube
• Easy twist access single piece fin can/motor mount
• Black plastic nose cone
• Nice adhesive backed decal set
• 12 inch harness for attachin' t' a man (which is nay included)

Very easy t' construct. Ahoy! Avast! Glue in a motor mount and t' upper portion o' t' twist on fin can, me hearties, ya bilge rat, arrr, glue in shock cord mount, install decals and recovery devices and it is ready.

Finishing:
T' picture gives you t' impression that t' GI-Joe or other small object ejects out t' side o' t' upper body o' t' rocket. Avast, me bucko, me proud beauty! T' decal o' a large door is only that, a decal. Ahoy! Begad! T' man ejects out t' top. Blimey! No paintin' is required.

Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5

Flight:
Flies well on B or C. Blimey! Begad! Flew once on A8 without a man on board, and only flew about 50 feet high, ejectin' just above t' ground.

I now have ten flights on this guy. Well, blow me down! T' kids flew this 4 times yesterday in a preliminary spot landin' experiment for a rocket competition they are entered in later this year.

Recovery:
Don't put too big a chute on t' man figure (Johnny Quest be t' usual passenger), me bucko, ya bilge rat, it will drift forever if you do. Begad! Arrr! Finally decided t' use a streamer with t' man and a 12 inch chute for t' rocket body, me bucko, me hearties, nose cone glides with a 12 inch plastic streamer.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
Very simple rocket that an 8 year old can prep and fly, very robust, surviving ten flights so far includin' a core sample (picture o' dirt and partially ejected purple chute included)

Overall Rating: 3 out o' 5
