Brief:
A light small 29mm rocket with a stealth like appearance. Begad! A true departure from t' traditional Loc kits.

Construction:
Single body tube design, with 2 large wood fins and 4 smaller stabilizin' fins on t' outer ends.

This was me first Loc Precision kit, me bucko, so I be nay sure what t' expect in terms o' quality. Begad! After openin' t' package and examinin' t' contents, arrr, I be very satisfied. Well, blow me down! T' tubes were smooth and stiff, with no dents. Aye aye! T' fins were straight with no warping.

T' instructions were very comprehensive considerin' this was t' beta test kit. Arrr! I decided t' make me own fin alignment lines on t' body tube instead o' usin' t' fin alignment template supplied with t' kit. I was a little skeptical about t' paper wound launch lug. It seemed a little tight and bulky, arrr, but I went with it anyway. Well, blow me down! It turned out t' work just fine. Aye aye! Avast! T' shroud that went over t' launch lug is made by splittin' a length o' supplied body tube.

I assembled all t' fin components usin' Aeropoxy and added fillets t' make t' joints stronger as I intended t' push this kit t' t' extreme t' see how it handled.

Finishing:
After fillin' in t' grooves and sandin' t' entire surface, t' rocket was ready for painting. Avast! I used 2 coats o' flat black Krylon t' stay with t' stealth look. Ahoy! I intended t' put decals on before t' first flight but I ran out o' time and wanted t' fly.

With all t' fins and cuttin' t' shroud I would nay recommend this as a beginners kit.

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:
I wanted a good engine for t' first flight and t' largest one recommended in t' instructions (a G38-7) sounded a little too slow for t' way I built t' rocket. Ahoy! A short conversation with Larry at Rocketmotion and I decided t' go with an Aerotech G80-10. Aye aye! So I friction fit t' motor in t' adapter and fit t' adapter in t' body tube. Aye aye! Begad! I then put about ¼ cup o' t' recovery material that came with t' kit (Affectionately known as dog barf) and be off t' t' pad.

At launch it took off fast, straight and suprisingly quiet. Avast! Blimey! At an estimated apogee o' 2400 Ft. Aye aye! Blimey! t' rocket arched over and t' parachute ejected (couldn't ask for a better delay). It landed about 100 ft. Well, blow me down! Blimey! from t' launch pad.

Recovery:
T' only damage after recovery be a scorched parachute from nay enough wadding. T' elastic shock cord held up fine. Well, blow me down! I wish I had more time t' launch it with a bigger motor, but it was near t' end o' t' day. Begad! I don't particularly care for t' recovery waddin' that comes with t' kit. I intend t' add a Keelhaul®©™ flame shield.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
Overall this is an excellent kit, this will be one o' t' favorites in me fleet. It is robust enough t' take larger motors, yet at a built weight o' about 13oz. Well, blow me down! It is light enough t' fly lower powered motors and still have plenty o' fun.

Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
