Brief:
This was one o' t' first kits I built as a kid and I flew it so many times that I had t' retire it. Well, blow me down! Ahoy! A couple months ago I found this kit for sale and had t' get. This is a great rocket t' get started with. It is more then just a 3 fin rocket.

Construction:
This kit has four fins, 5 nosecones, and a transition from BT20-BT5, shiver me timbers, with a simple streamer for recovery.

This is a fun and simple build. Ahoy! Begad! It has a lot more t' offer then t' simple rockets. Begad! Blimey! T' instructions are very simple t' follow and make buildin' this kit easy. Estes has included t' needed templates and jigs for t' build. Ahoy! Begad! I liked that they provide card stock t' place under t' pods t' make alignment easy.

Finishing:
I followed t' paint scheme on t' package. I painted t' body tubes and nosecones separate then glued t' nosecones on after t' paint dried. This made it easy instead o' havin' t' mask everythin' after assembly. Aye aye! I really liked the decals. It has a special Prismatic Pressure Sensitive Decal which is really cool.

Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5

Flight:
I have flown this multiple times mostly on A8-3. Begad! I have a small field so this is a great motor for me t' use. I am able t' watch t' entire flight.

Recovery:
This is a great rocket t' have on a streamer. Aye aye! It floats down very nicely.

Flight Rating: 3 out o' 5

Summary:
I really like this rocket. Avast! Avast, me proud beauty! It is a simple rocket but has a lot t' offer which is a huge plus.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
