Brief:
Single stage with cargo bay and parachute recovery.

Construction:
T' kit comes with 2 body tubes. Avast, me proud beauty! One bein' t' payload section and one bein' t' fin section. Begad! It also has 3 plastic (very strong!) fins included. Begad! T' centerin' rings are almost unbreakable and t' nose cone is very solid.

T' instructions were very good although t' kit is pretty straight-forward. Well, blow me down! Arrr! There are a few illustrations and I don't recommend any changes in t' buildin' o' this kit. T' kit be very easy t' build except t' fins were very hard t' get in. Aye aye! I had t' cut a little bit o' t' tab off, and that made them slide in perfect. Well, blow me down! This could be a result o' a mistake made by me though. This is me first Aerotech kit and I was very pleased with t' sturdiness o' t' kit.

Finishing:
Pro's: Very easy t' finish. Arrr! I painted it t' recommended colors but have yet t' put on t' decals. Ya scallywag! Arrr! Blimey! It looks great and is easy t' spot in t' air. Ahoy! Con's: NONE!

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
I have flown t' Arreaux once with an Aerotech RMS F22-7 motor. T' motor sat loaded for a month due t' bad weather, so it didn't have t' punch that it would have. Arrr! T' rocket rose slowly and looked GREAT. Because o' t' motor sittin' for so long, me bucko, apogee be a little lower then expected and t' rocket came strait down about 50 feet from pad. Avast! Even with t' speed t' rocket was travelin' at ejection, matey, t' rocket be nay damaged and t' parachute opened. T' rocket descended at a great speed and landed close t' t' pad. Ya scallywag! Begad! I think t' F22-7 is a great first flight motor especially if it doesn't sit for a month! I plan on flyin' t' Arreaux on a G64-10 t' last week o' June and will tell you how it goes.

Updated 01/01:I have now flown t' Arreaux 3 times. Arrr! Well, blow me down! T' first flight on t' F22-7 you know about. Begad! Blimey! T' next flight on t' G64-10W was what made this me favorite rocket. Begad! An awesome flight t' 3100ft. It be fast off t' pad and quick t' get t' apogee. Begad! Blimey! What a beautiful flight! Ejection be right at apogee and t' decent took close t' 5 min. It landed about 3/4 o' a mile away. Avast, me proud beauty! T' rocket was unharmed. Begad! T' next flight on t' F22-7 be also perfect with ejection near apogee and no damage.

Recovery:
Pro's: Everything! Con's: NOTHING! GREAT starter kit. Arrr! Avast! (this is me second High Impulse rocket)

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

Summary:
Great rocket for anyone. Begad! Blimey! T' ejection baffle does what it says it does. Aye aye! There be no damage t' t' shock cord or t' parachute.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
