Brief:
This is an upscale o' t' classic Estes Mosquito. Avast! It comes with a 29mm motor mount and a 24mm adaptor with streamer recovery. Well, blow me down! Ahoy!

Construction:
This kit is simple t' build with one body tube, shiver me timbers, 3 pre-cut very thick balsa fins and a balsa nosecone. T' motor mount is made o' plywood centerin' rings and a heavy wall motor mount tube. Aye aye! Avast, me proud beauty! T' 24mm adapter is included.

This is a very easy and quick kit t' build. Begad! T' fins are glued t' t' body so they may be prone t' breaking. Avast, me proud beauty! Aye aye! Nay countin' painting, shiver me timbers, t' total build time was less than one hour. Ahoy! Ya scallywag!

T' shock cord is a black bungee cord type. Blimey! Although like t' Estes type cord, arrr, arrr, it is at least three times as heavy. Well, blow me down! It's mounted t' same way and Estes cord is mounted.

T' kit comes with a simple 29mm t' 24mm adaptor. It consists o' a tube within a tube. Blimey! Well, blow me down! Assembly is done by gluin' one tube into t' other. T' great thin' about it is you can use it for any rocket. Blimey! Avast, me proud beauty!

Finishing:
Finishin' be a bit tougher than kits with plastic nose cones. Blimey! Aye aye! If you have ever painted a balsa nose cone, shiver me timbers, me bucko, then you know t' difficulties in gettin' a good finish. Aye aye! Blimey! This is a giant balsa nose cone so it took quite awhile t' get the grain sealed. Begad! T' body tube is glassine coated so thar are no spirals t' fill here.

This kit comes with several heavy stickers t' plaster around as you see fit. Aye aye! Aye aye! I went with t' classic Estes mosquito paint scheme. Begad!

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
T' first flight was perfect on a C11-3. Ya scallywag! Begad! T' streamer unfurled completely and the rocket came down nicely. Although it landed softly, one o' t' fins broke off. A line o' CA gel fixed it in no time. Begad! T' second launch was less than an hour later and t' flight was again picture perfect. Avast! This time it landed quite a bit rougher, but no broken fins. Begad!

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
This is a great little kit, although I don't think I would launch it on a 29mm motor. Ya scallywag! Blimey! Blimey! Ease o' build and perfect flights make this a great rocket for your fleet and a joy t' build.
