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

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

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

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

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
Flew straight on a G80-4T, me bucko, shiver me timbers, ejection charge nay enough t' blow chute. some may have leaked. Blimey! Ahoy! Blimey! I had a Nomex® blanket t' replace wadding. T' rocket fell from over 1,000 feet and nay a scratch on it after impact. Begad! 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. Avast! Well, arrr, blow me down! That flight it came down rather slowly, for a 3 inch diameter rocket with tumble recovery. Begad! Very rugged & nice looking. Ahoy! Well, blow me down! It is one o' me new favorites.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

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

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
