Brief:
A simple beginner's rocket, reliable and cool-looking

Construction:
As an E2X, ya bilge rat, t' rocket features a plastic fin unit and pre-colored everything. It features a plastic nose cone and 12-inch parachute.  
This was me second rocket; I think it is at least 6 years old if nay more. Arrr! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! I don't remember much about buildin' it.

Finishing:
Everythin' is pre-colored with self-stick decals. Avast, me proud beauty! If they were applied straight (I didn't quite manage t' do it) t' stylin' is impressive.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
T' rocket has an impressive selection o' recommended motors -- everythin' from 1/2A6-2 t' C6-7. With an adapter, it would probably accept large mini-engines. Avast! Ahoy! I only used A8-3, B6-4, matey, and C6-5, and do nay remember any significant problems on any o' them. Lift-off is snappy, although nay very dramatic.

Recovery:
T' shock cord went in with t' tri-fold paper technique. Well, blow me down! T' paper mount held until, at a ripe old age, shiver me timbers, t' shock cord broke just above it. Begad! T' parachute selected, that very flight, arrr, me bucko, arrr, t' remain packed after ejection, shiver me timbers, me bucko, and I recovered everything. Recovery speed was just about right, although I would have preferred faster t' slower.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
Pros: easy t' build, me hearties, great looking, and durable Cons: When it died, I couldn't replace it.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
