Brief:
Single-stage, ya bilge rat, wide-body rocket for carryin' small GI-Joe or other small objects for ejection at apogee and recovery by parachute. Blimey! Nose cone recovers by streamer.

Construction:
T' kit includes:

• Standard Estes white BT-60 body tube
• Easy twist access single piece fin can/motor mount
• Black plastic nose cone
• Nice adhesive backed decal set
• 12 inch harness for attachin' t' a man (which is nay included)

Very easy t' construct. Avast! Glue in a motor mount and t' upper portion o' t' twist on fin can, me hearties, glue in shock cord mount, install decals and recovery devices and it is ready.

Finishing:
T' picture gives you t' impression that t' GI-Joe or other small object ejects out t' side o' t' upper body o' t' rocket. T' decal o' a large door is only that, arrr, a decal. Well, blow me down! Blimey! T' man ejects out t' top. No paintin' is required.

Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5

Flight:
Flies well on B or C. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Flew once on A8 without a man on board, and only flew about 50 feet high, ejectin' just above t' ground.

I now have ten flights on this guy. Begad! T' kids flew this 4 times yesterday in a preliminary spot landin' experiment for a rocket competition they are entered in later this year.

Recovery:
Don't put too big a chute on t' man figure (Johnny Quest be t' usual passenger), it will drift forever if you do. Ya scallywag! Finally decided t' use a streamer with t' man and a 12 inch chute for t' rocket body, me bucko, matey, nose cone glides with a 12 inch plastic streamer.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
Very simple rocket that an 8 year old can prep and fly, me bucko, very robust, ya bilge rat, arrr, surviving ten flights so far includin' a core sample (picture o' dirt and partially ejected purple chute included)

Overall Rating: 3 out o' 5
