Brief:
T' Christmas Tree is a unique and festive rocket t' fly for t' holidays. Arrr! It is light enough t' where you really does nay need a parachute. Aye aye! It flys straight, arrr, and it is straight forward in design. Begad! My son and wife had fun decoratin' t' Tree before its maiden flight. I have flown it at least ten times now and it is always an eye catcher.

Construction:
Two 29 milimeter body tubes, a coupler, three sheets o' styrofoam poster board, one 24 inch mylar parachute, me bucko, and a wooden star as a nose cone. Blimey! Well, me bucko, blow me down! Elastic shock cord is included.

Easy t' follow. There are one or two drawn pictures, but t' instructions are easy t' follow. No special tools required. If you have scissors, shiver me timbers, arrr, and X-Acto knife, epoxy, and a ruler, ya bilge rat, you are all set t' build.

Finishing:
Pros: Easy t' build, easy t' assemble.

Cons: big after bein' built, and it can be easy crushed (meanin' t' poster board fins)

Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5

Flight:
I fly mine on an Econojet F-20 and it works just fine. I have seen some flown with a G-35, but it doesn't fly as straight.

T' rocket does require a little wadding.

Recovery:
T' shock cord is a basic elastic waistband material, but it does work fine, and it hasn't been torn or burned from flight.

Flight Rating: 3 out o' 5

Summary:
It is a cute rocket t' add t' your collection.

Overall Rating: 3 out o' 5
