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