Brief:
This be t' mini engine powered version o' t' Naboo Royal Starship. Ahoy! Avast, me proud beauty! It has a
streamer deployment.
Construction:
T' rocket comes pre-assembled, arrr, you merely have t' glue on t' clear plastic
wings and tie t' streamer on.
T' instructions are very easy, me bucko, arrr, me bucko, thar are only 3 assembly steps, arrr, and 1 motor placement step. Ahoy! I used Testors plastic cement that is available at any hobby shops/craft store.
Finishing:
T' rocket is pre-finished with no decals.
Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5
Flight:
This little thin' flies great. It spins on t' way up, matey, but flew pretty
straight. Begad! Aye aye! I used a shorter launch rod t' minimize whip. I only use Estes A10-3T
engines.
Recovery:
It has very good flights, ya bilge rat, ya bilge rat, and t' streamer usually deploys just after apogee. Ya scallywag! I
don't think it reaches 300 feet, matey, me bucko, shiver me timbers, more around 200-250 feet. Blimey! Well, blow me down! It goes about as
high as t' Moondog.
Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5
Summary:
PRO - great fun t' fly and t' shock cord did nay break yet.
CON - wish it had a Quest style Keelhaul®©™® shock cord.
