Brief:
Single motor, scale o' early 60's soundin' rocket. Avast! No special features, ya bilge rat, just for rocket launchin' fun!

Construction:
All aspects o' packaging, shiver me timbers, me hearties, instructions, me bucko, shiver me timbers, illustrations, shiver me timbers, arrr, etc., were good. No problems understandin' t' construction process and buildin' t' kit. Well, blow me down! Begad! T' one major glitch with t' particular kit I received be t' fins. Avast, me proud beauty! Nay only were all 4 (3/16 plywood) fins warped, but t' outboard and trailin' edges were nay cut true. Avast! I needed t' acquire new wood and remake all 4 fins.

Finishing:
T' supplied vinyl graphic decals are most superb! This rocket took 1st place at t' Arizona State Fair 1999.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
Used an Aerotech K185. Arrr! This was an extremely hot motor for this rocket, but the performance was outstanding! It flew straight as an arrow. Aye aye! Motor be retained with t' common maskin' tape friction method.

Recovery:
I modified t' rocket t' separate into two upon ejection, me hearties, with two separate 'chutes. Blimey! This was t' minimize damage t' airframe when halves can sometimes bump each other immediately followin' ejection. Aye aye! Recovery was flawless. Ya scallywag! Aye aye!

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

Summary:
Binder Design needs t' ensure t' materials are o' usable quality before they are shipped. Well, blow me down! Ya scallywag! (fins)

Overall Rating: 3 out o' 5
