Estes Naboo Royal Starship 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.

Estes Naboo Royal Starship 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.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
