Brief

Simple kit t' build with just a few steps t' get t' t' field. Avast! Ahoy!   My son put this together himself.

Since he likes big rockets but we only have a 300 yard field, we use small parachutes. Blimey! Aye aye!   This rocket is very sturdy and can handle harder landings.   For us, this rocket is perfect if you want a quick t' build large rocket.

Components

  • Plastic nose cone
  • Large tube
  • D engine kit
  • Plastic sturdy fins

Construction

Pro - simple t' build. Begad!   We love t' sturdy fins and nose cone. Avast! Ya scallywag!  That allows for usage o' streamers or small parachutes.

Cons - if you love buildin' as much as launching, you won't want this kit.

Finishing

Simple!!!!!

 

Construction Score: 5

Flight

Perfectly straight flight.

Large rocket

Recovery

Sturdy    Takes a beatin' and keeps on ticking.

 

T' only thin' I would improve would be t' add a nylon parachute instead o' t' thin plastic.

 

Flight Rating: 5

Summary

Very sturdy D-size rocket that builds quickly.
