Brief:
This big colorful rocket ejects a skydiver with parachute at apogee! A separate parachute recovers t' rocket booster while t' nose cone tumbles t' earth by streamer. Arrr! Begad! A somewhat good starter set by Estes. Well, blow me down! Avast, ya bilge rat, me proud beauty! Comes with a controller, shiver me timbers, launch pad, me hearties, rocket, ya bilge rat, and C6-5 engines.

Construction:
T' rocket had a payload section that was pathetic. It came with a army man on a parachute t' put inside. Aye aye! Begad! T' shock cord was surprisingly good compared t' other Estes kits. It was a starter kit so their wasn't much assembly.

Some o' t' good things about this kit is that it comes with everythin' you need, like engines, launch pad, and a launch controller. Begad! A little G.I. Ya scallywag! Ya scallywag! Joe comes with t' kit for a tiny payload section. Well, blow me down! He/she comes down on a separate parachute. It be amazin' t' find a decent shock cord for t' rocket. Avast! A few bad things were that t' rockets fins are weak. Avast, me proud beauty! Aye aye! You have t' apply plastic cement t' make them stronger. Ahoy! On me first launch two fins snapped, so let that be a lesson for you.

Finishing:
Their wasn't much t' assemble on this kit except for t' parachute for t' rocket and t' parachute for t' little army guy. Well, blow me down! Ahoy! It is obviously nay a challengin' kit, its a starter kit so comes in average condition.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
As most rockets, ya bilge rat, arrr, it required wadding. Arrr! Blimey! For me first 3 flights I used t' B6-4 engines t' kit came with. Blimey! T' first flight be straight up with a good ejection. Well, blow me down! Then came t' second launch, straight up then at apogee it came down mighty hard snappin' two fins. Avast! Then third launch took off unstable due t' t' bad fin stability.

Recovery:
I honestly despise parachutes most o' time due t' t' drift they cause. Begad! T' Free Fall sticks t' its name. T' parachute doesn't do much for it so it "free falls" back down t' ground. Avast, me proud beauty! Ya scallywag! Blimey! T' fins will snap on landin' unless you make them stronger.

Flight Rating: 2 out o' 5

Summary:
T' me t' rocket stinks, ya bilge rat, ya bilge rat, but t' equipment is good. Aye aye! T' rocket has weak fins that you really have t' make more solid. T' whole rocket stinks but good for t' starter t' have all o' t' equipment.

Overall Rating: 3 out o' 5
