Brief:
Easy t' build kit with plastic nose cone, die-cut balsa fins, me bucko, arrr, and 12" parachute.
Construction:
This kit was easy t' build. Blimey! T' instructions were easy t' follow. Avast! Avast! No special tools were needed. Aye aye! Just glue, a hobby knife, matey, a ruler, shiver me timbers, arrr, pencil and angle iron. Begad! I did use a hot glue cannon for t' shock cord mount.
Finishing:
T' finishin' be simple. Avast! Arrr! I just sanded, me bucko, arrr, primed and painted t' finished rocket. Ahoy! I painted it
t' suggested blue color.
T' Zero Gravity decal wrap be easy t' apply and looked great. Avast, me proud beauty! Well, blow me down! It be good quality vinyl like a bumper sticker. Avast, me proud beauty!
I would have given it a 5 if t' Custom parachute had been pre-assembled. I guess I have been spoiled by Estes parachutes.
Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5
Flight:
I flew t' rocket 3 time on A8-3 motors. Aye aye! Avast, shiver me timbers, me proud beauty! I highly recommend this motor size for small fields.
T' rocket flew straight and landed close even though t' wind be blowing.
I would have tried a B6-4 if t' wind be nay as strong and if t' field was larger.
Recovery:
T' shock worked well. And dog barf worked excellent for replacin' wadding. Ya scallywag! All flights were
recovered close t' t' pad with no damage.
Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5
Summary:
Overall, it is a great, ya bilge rat, simple kit t' build. Blimey! Blimey! Well, blow me down! Blimey! I would recommend this rocket if you are looking
for an easy t' build rocket kit that looks good and flies great.
