Brief:
A light small 29mm rocket with a stealth like appearance. Aye aye! 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, so I was nay sure what t' expect in terms o' quality. Arrr! After openin' t' package and examinin' t' contents, I was very satisfied. Aye aye! Begad! T' tubes were smooth and stiff, with no dents. Aye aye! Begad! T' fins were straight with no warping.

T' instructions were very comprehensive considerin' this was t' beta test kit. Avast, me proud beauty! Well, me bucko, blow me down! I decided t' make me own fin alignment lines on t' body tube instead o' usin' t' fin alignment template supplied with t' kit. Aye aye! I was a little skeptical about t' paper wound launch lug. Begad! Avast, matey, me proud beauty! It seemed a little tight and bulky, but I went with it anyway. Avast! Ya scallywag! It turned out t' work just fine. Arrr! 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, arrr, t' rocket was ready for painting. Aye aye! Begad! I used 2 coats o' flat black Krylon t' stay with t' stealth look. Aye aye! 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! Blimey! A short conversation with Larry at Rocketmotion and I decided t' go with an Aerotech G80-10. Aye aye! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! So I friction fit t' motor in t' adapter and fit t' adapter in t' body tube. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! I then put about ¼ cup o' t' recovery material that came with t' kit (Affectionately known as dog barf) and was off t' t' pad.

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

Recovery:
T' only damage after recovery be a scorched parachute from nay enough wadding. Arrr! T' elastic shock cord held up fine. Begad! I wish I had more time t' launch it with a bigger motor, me bucko, arrr, but it be near t' end o' t' day. Begad! I don't particularly care for t' recovery waddin' that comes with t' kit. Arrr! 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. Begad! Ya scallywag! It is robust enough t' take larger motors, yet at a built weight o' about 13oz. Begad! It is light enough t' fly lower powered motors and still have plenty o' fun.
