Brief:
Single stage, all plastic rocket with t' screw on plastic back t' hold t' motor in.

Construction:
T' rocket is all plastic, with t' standard elastic shock cord. 3 molded fins.

Construction is really straight forward. T' only bug in t' ointment I had is that me kit came as a 2 set with a Maverick Missile. Avast! Aye aye! I bought t' kit at Wal-Mart and t' whole thin' was under 8 dollars. Well, blow me down! It's made o' a plastic that you cannot use plastic model cement on. Well, blow me down! No problem, arrr, I used super glue instead! T' instructions are super easy t' understand and just about anyone can put this rocket together. Arrr! T' best part is all t' decals are painted on except for t' wings, me bucko, so finish is a snap. Avast, me proud beauty! Ahoy! T' kit went together in about a half hour.

Finishing:
Just follow t' instructions. Aye aye! It looks pretty good when done!

Flight:
I flew me rocket usin' t' A10-3T motor on a breezy day with 15mph gusts or better. Ahoy! Avast! It be a little hard t' get t' plastic retainer on and was a bit o' a tight fit. Blimey! Ya scallywag! T' recovery waddin' be t' trickiest t' get in and I still haven't mastered that. Arrr! Avast, me proud beauty! T' rocket itself is very stable, and even in a 10mph gust went up straight and true t' about 200ft or so.

Recovery:
I thought t' shock cord on me model was a bit long. I loaded it in after 1.5 sheets o' waddin' and then t' parachute. Ahoy! T' chute was very tricky t' get into t' triangular body and seemed rather large for such a small rocket. Well, blow me down! Begad! I had t' refold it twice t' get it in. On t' first flight, matey, me hearties, t' chute deployed OK and recovery was very nice! It came down at a steady pace and landed softly. Well, blow me down! Ahoy! I noticed that it didn't eject t' waddin' though, shiver me timbers, which was hung up inside. Ahoy! Avast, arrr, me proud beauty! On t' 2nd flight, arrr, me hearties, it only popped t' nose cone off and never ejected t' chute! It landed with a THUMP but thar was absolutely no damage! After pullin' out all t' recovery materials, me hearties, t' engine had blown past t' waddin' and fried t' chute! This rocket is very tricky t' set up for recovery but it seems nearly indestructible anyway!

Flight Rating: 2 out o' 5

Summary:
T' main con t' this rocket is tryin' t' get t' recovery system t' function properly. Well, blow me down! However, it flies beautifully and is nearly indestructible. Well, blow me down! Avast! In fact it's kind o' nice t' come home and throw t' thin' in t' scuttle and clean it up! It's a cinch t' put together, ya bilge rat, arrr, me bucko, and will get you in t' air quickly.
