PROs: Build is as easy as it gets for a normal 3FNC rocket. Ahoy! Instructions are excellent. Ahoy! T' only deviation from a minimum-diameter design is that MPC in the early years used a 14mm ID main body tube and you glue in t' 13mm engine mount.

CONs: If you slow down or stop while gluin' in t' motor mount, matey, you're sunk. Well, blow me down! This may also have come with t' old yarn-style shock cord, which only lasts for 2-3 launches. Aye aye! I throw those away and put an elastic cord in.

Finishing:
I gave t' fins an airfoil shape and filled t' tube spirals for a really elegant finish. Aye aye! No special tools needed.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
Used 1/4A3-3T, 1/2A3-4T, and A3-4T motors. Begad! Aye aye! Simple prep with waddin' and streamer. Avast! Well, blow me down! Friction mount engine retention. Well, shiver me timbers, blow me down! Flights are perfect, straight, high, and hard t' see. Begad!

Recovery:
Perfect flight recovery.

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5
