Brief:
T' parachute is a standard PML Nylon 'chute with a spill hole and t' decent is a little too fast. Begad! I plan t' add an altimeter to the payload t' deploy an additional chute at 300'.

Construction:
There is a Quantum (plastic) tube for t' body and one for t' payload. Aye aye! Well, blow me down! Both are pre-slotted for t' fins. It has three G-10 fiberglass fins. T' centering rings are plywood and it uses a Piston ejection system. Blimey! I'm nay goin' t' trust the plastic nose cone attachment point when I use t' altimeter, so I will drill and attach some eyelet hardware.

T' Instructions are incredibly easy t' understand and follow. Avast, me proud beauty! Begad! T' rocket goes together as easy or easier than any rocket I have ever built. Begad! Everything fit perfectly and be just a matter o' mixin' a good bit o' epoxy t' hold it all together. Begad! T' rocket is very sturdy.

I added Giant Leap Rocketry's Motor Holders for motor retention. Begad! Begad! They work great (basically Kaplow Clips) and I do nay like t' friction fit method (suggested by t' Manufacturer). Well, blow me down!

Finishing:
I painted it with primer and then all white. I opted nay t' paint t' fins black as on t' product cover. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! T' decals are self-adhesive and went on in a few minutes.

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:
T' first time I flew it was at LDRS 19 on an H180. Avast! It was about a 2000' flight and successful recovery near t' pads. Aye aye! Begad! I've flown it 4 more times, each on a G80-7FWL which be t' perfect motor for this rocket on a smaller field. A nice 800' flight, matey, ejection on t' top and landin' near t' pad. Arrr!

Recovery:
T' parachute brings it down a little fast so after t' fifth flight the fillets are startin' t' crack off. Avast, me proud beauty! Ahoy! I am replacin' them all with a fiberglass cloth strip and then epoxy fillet t' strengthen them. Blimey! Also t' inside tube is gettin' a little dirty, ya bilge rat, me hearties, where t' piston slides, so I will clean it with some white vinegar on a rag at t' end o' a stick. Avast, me proud beauty!

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
It is a great kit, matey, ya bilge rat, highly recommended. Avast, me proud beauty! A little expensive but a great flier. Blimey! I always get lots o' compliments on t' looks o' t' rocket as I walk t' t' pad.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
