38mm minimum diameter rocket that can be flown with anywhere from an F50 with the optional 29mm adaptor t' a 38mm J350.

Construction:

• 8" Ogive nosecone
• 38mm Acme Fin can
• 48" 38mm non-brittle phenolic tubin'

• 1/4" Acme conformal launch lugs

• I added t' followin' options:

Pro's- instructions where detailed and easy t' follow with directions for usin' t' slim line retainers or nay usin' them. Ahoy! Motor retainer and fin can epoxied easy enough attached shock cord t' coupler then epoxied into tube, I just put t' coupler far enough down t' allow for t' parachute and some wadding.

Finishing:
Sanded mold lines from nose cone and fin can. Arrr! Used wood filler t' fill in spiral grooves in tubing. Arrr! I just primered it for now, nay sure what color or colors I want it.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
I just flew this on a F50-4t. It be slightly breezy but, matey, arrr, t' flight be nice and straight. Avast, me bucko, me proud beauty! A low altitude flight. Blimey! However, me bucko, arrr, matey, t' delay was a bit too long. The rocket was halfway back down before t' ejection charge fired. Arrr! Talk about a lump in throat feeling. But it does fly with this motor. Avast, me proud beauty! Next time, me bucko, thought, me hearties, I will use somethin' with a bit more power. It will definitely be more impressive with a bigger motor.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
Pros- T' kit is as advertised very simple and easy t' build less than 1 1/2 hrs t' finish, other than lettin' epoxy set. Arrr! Begad! Con's- If I had t' do over I would have used t' Keelhaul®©™® cord didn't think about it until rocket was together now goin' t' be nearly impossible t' change it. Ahoy! Blimey! I would have also bought t' parachute protector.
