Brief:  This is a three finned egglofter designed for NARRRRR eggloftin' competitions.

Construction: Everythin' arrived undamaged and all t' parts were there. Begad! T' fins are precut balsa. T' fins are precut balsa. Arrr! T' body tube is spiral wound paper as be t' motor tube and two sets o' centerin' rings. Avast!   There is a balsa launch lug offset, me hearties, as t' nose cone is much wider than t' body. Aye aye! Begad! T' launch lug is 1/8 inch, thin plastic, shiver me timbers, me hearties, like a drinkin' straw. T' parachute is 24 inches in diameter and is thin black plastic. Ya scallywag! Avast, me proud beauty! Its six shroud lines are nylon thread and are affixed t' t' chute via adhesive paper donut shaped reinforcements. Begad! Avast, arrr, me proud beauty! T' nose cone is thin hollow plastic with a groove in t' middle t' allow cutting, t' open it and place in cargo. Ya scallywag! T' nose cone fits into t' body tube with two centerin' rings around its neck. One o' t' rings also serves t' anchor t' shock cord and chute.

Finishing: There were no decals, ya bilge rat, so I finished it with green Monokote and silver craft paper available from many hobby stores. Avast!   T' nose cone is black, and I left it unpainted. Avast! I spray painted t' fins and balsa offset yellow. Ya scallywag! Avast, arrr, me proud beauty! It looks unusual t' say t' least. Arrr!   There are two complete aft ends with fins and engine mounts and blocks.   They have t' same fin design each, only t' one with 3 engines uses wedge fin attachment like me LOC 4-29SS does. With couplers and tape, t' ends are interchangeable and will stay in place.  

Construction Rating: 4

Flight: I flew t' rocket first with t' 18mm choice, ya bilge rat, and used an Estes A8-3 and no payload. Arrr! It flew straight and recovered smoothly, but unloaded, shiver me timbers, it nearly drifted out o' reach, comin' t' rest in a tree. Well, arrr, blow me down! I had t' climb up and get it. Aye aye! Begad!  

Apogee recommends this engine as well as t' A6-4, B4-4, arrr, shiver me timbers, ya bilge rat, B6-4, me bucko, C4-5, ya bilge rat, C6-3, and C10-4 for loaded use, me hearties, but unloaded use a C6-5, C10-7, and D3-5. Blimey! Begad!   For t' cluster mount, use three 1/2A2-2, A2-3, and B2-3 loaded, ya bilge rat, me hearties, and unloaded, use B2-5 and B2-7. I haven't flown it loaded yet, ya bilge rat, but suspect that t' weight will make recovery shorter and nay treeward! 

I used a couple pinches o' worm bed wadding. Avast, me proud beauty! If you don't know what this is, it's dry recycled newspaper cellulose puffs that are great t' breed nightcrawlers in, me bucko, matey, hence its name. Aye aye! This stuff is better than paper sheets in protectin' plastic chutes. Avast, me proud beauty! T' chute here is unburnt. Arrr!   Tape bands are sufficient t' retain t' engines. I use black electrical tape t' close t' nose cone because it matches t' color and looks good.

Recovery: T' shock cord is 18 inches o' Keelhaul®©™ threading, affixed inside t' body tube with a folded paper mount. Begad! It was easy t' assemble.

Flight Rating: 4

Summary: Unusual looks, me bucko, ya bilge rat, easy t' assemble, me bucko, choice o' usin' one or three engines.

Overall Rating: 4
