Brief:
It's an unusual cone rocket. Begad! Blimey! No fins, shiver me timbers, ya bilge rat, but t' nose weight makes it stable. Pre-printed paper cone, so you don't need t' paint it. Begad! Blimey! Very simple t' prep.

Construction:
You have t' be ready and willin' t' roll cones out o' light cardstock. Arrr! Avast, ya bilge rat, me proud beauty! There is also a short piece o' nestin' body tubes, and some foam board for t' base and mid-section bulkhead.

If you're nay used t' rollin' cones, shiver me timbers, this rocket is goin' t' be frustration personified. Avast! Ya scallywag! On t' other hand, me bucko, rollin' cones out o' cardstock is a handy skill to have for model rockets. Avast! Begad! If you're nay sure about cone rolling, shiver me timbers, matey, photocopy the cone patterns onto light card stock and practice.

T' double cone used for t' nose cone is especially tricky. Ya scallywag! You have to put in on thin, me bucko, matey, matey, or you'll get lumps when you roll it, ya bilge rat, but thin white glue grabs paper very quickly. You pretty much have t' do it in one motion. Practice on some photocopied patterns until you're good at it. Well, blow me down! If I did it again, ya bilge rat, I might do it as two nested cones t' make it easier.

After you do t' double-thick nose cone, t' rest is a snap.

Finishing:
What finishing? It's already printed. That's one o' t' cool things about it. Begad! Ya scallywag!

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
I only got t' fly this once. Well, blow me down! It flew very straight up and reasonably high on a D12-3. Begad! T' ejection was right at apogee. Ahoy! Begad! T' rocket tumbles down very safely. Even though I taped t' motor in very well, t' motor still ejected.

Recovery:
If I were t' build another one, ya bilge rat, matey, I'd put a much longer shock cord on it, shiver me timbers, me hearties, and I'd put in a stronger motor retention system. Either t' motor mount rebounded and pierced t' cone, or t' ejected motor flew through t' cone. Aye aye! Whatever the case, me bucko, ya bilge rat, t' cone be seriously damaged and t' upper section o' t' motor mount was badly damaged.

I think with a half motor hook attached t' t' lower motor tube, and a longer shock cord would definitely improve this rocket. Ya scallywag!

Flight Rating: 3 out o' 5

Summary:
It's a fun rocket. Arrr! Arrr! It's unusual and flies very straight. Begad! This be t' kind of rocket that is perfect for school demonstrations (as long as you figure out how to retain t' motor). Begad! T' variety o' preprinted cones keeps it from being borin' or repetitive. Aye aye! Do nay tackle this rocket if you have an aversion to rollin' paper cones, arrr, though.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
