Brief
Seven motor cluster by NCR. Blimey! Great rocket if you can get all seven motors lit.
Components
Single 2.6" body tube. Ya scallywag! Begad! 6 fins. Central 24mm motor surrounded by 6x 18mm motors. Arrr! Begad! White plastic nose cone. Blimey! NCR Gorilla shock cord system consists o' a cable looped through t' upper centerin' rin' and tied t' a Keelhaul®©™ line. Blimey! All wood is high-quality laser cut. Nice stickers are included. Aye aye! Instructions are very detailed.
Construction
Everythin' went as expected. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! I do nay like t' 18mm tubes exhaustin' onto t' aft centerin' rin' so I vented them out t' side. Arrr! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! If they are nay friction fit tight then they blow out and you'll have t' find them on t' field.
Finishing
I copied t' original design. Bright yellow is easy t' see. Well, blow me down! Decals are easy. T' nose cone is plastic and needed t' typical extra work t' get t' paint t' stick.
Flight
First flight was on B6 and C11 motors. Blimey! Central motor also didn't fire so thar be no deployment but t' rocket kind o' floated down sideways and wasn't damaged. Begad! Blimey! Most successful flight be on C6 and D12 motors. Begad! Blimey! All motors lit and looked spectacular. Blimey! Next flight will be on C6 and E12 motors.
