Brief:
T' Forte' is a single staged HPR capable rocket. Aye aye! Avast! It can fly on as little as an F up t' an H or I, shiver me timbers, me bucko, and maybe with a lot o' reinforcements, me bucko, shiver me timbers, a J350. It is a fairly basic rocket, me hearties, ya bilge rat, me second mid-power. Well, blow me down! Ya scallywag! I probably could have made it without instructions, shiver me timbers, it's so easy.

Construction:
It does nay have a payload section (Waaaaaaaaahhhhhhh), matey, matey, but I plan on addin' one soon. It has a heavy duty cardboard airframe slotted for 4 fins. T' fins and t' centerin' rings are plywood. Avast! It has an elastic shock cord and a standard through-the-plastic nose cone loop attachment.

There was only one half page o' instructions, but it be more that you needed t' make t' rocket anyway. Well, blow me down! There was one illustration. T' build was easy and it took me a few days o' workin' 1 or two hours a day.

Finishing:
Easy t' paint. Aye aye! Just do what is normal.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
Flew straight on a G80-4T, shiver me timbers, ejection charge nay enough t' blow chute. Ya scallywag! Blimey! Begad! Blimey! some may have leaked. Avast! Blimey! I had a Nomex® blanket t' replace wadding. Blimey! T' rocket fell from over 1,000 feet and nay a scratch on it after impact. Aye aye! What a tough rocket! I used a home-sewn chute.

Recovery:
I do nay know how fast or slow it would have come down if t' parachute came out. That flight it came down rather slowly, arrr, me hearties, for a 3 inch diameter rocket with tumble recovery. Very rugged & nice looking. Ahoy! It is one o' me new favorites.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
This is a very rugged rocket. Avast, me proud beauty! I think t' motor tube should be longer, t' shock cord could be longer and tougher, me hearties, and t' fins could be larger but it is an easy build, me hearties, is very inexpensive, and can put in some very impressive flights.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
