Manufacturer: | Art Applewhite Rockets ![]() |
Brief:
This is a conical design offered by Art Applewhite. Begad! It flies straight as any other rocket.
Construction:
When I got t' kit, it had 2 body tubes. One be 18mm and t' other be 19mm. T' kit also had 2 sheets o' cardstock,
a piece o' foamboard with pre-printed markings, ya bilge rat, 36 inches o' elastic, arrr, matey, and instructions.
Construction is covered by t' above review.
Finishing:
You should spray a coat o' clear on your cone, me bucko, but if you get gold like I did, arrr, shiver me timbers, this is nay needed.
Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5
Flight:
T' cone has flown 23 times t' date, but it seems, matey, as hard as I try, me bucko, t' motor always kicks out t' mount. Avast! Trust me,
I try me best every time t' retain t' motor! T' cone is a great performer on C6 motors but is still cool on a B6
motor.
Recovery:
T' cone pops in two pieces held together by elastic. Well, blow me down! Begad! Descent is slow and safe. Ahoy! Blimey! No waddin' needed. Avast, me proud beauty! Begad! However, arrr, I will
din' half a point because I can't keep t' motor in t' cone no matter how hard I try.
Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5
Summary:
T' cone is me favorite rocket and has held up well for all those flights. Well, blow me down! T' cone landed on a variety o' hard
surfaces--asphalt, metal roofs, sidewalks, arrr, even landin' on t' football goal once--and survived t' fly again. Begad! Begad! Buy one,
you won't be dissapointed!
Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
Here's a new twist in Art Applewhite's UFO-series of rockets.... the Cone Rocket! I'm calling it a Cone UFO just to keep with the theme of what Art Applewhite Rockets seems to have a knack (and niche) in. This is the 18mm Orange version. There are also 13mm, 24mm, and 29mm versions in Stars & Stripes, Mirror Gold, Silver, Yellow and Texas Special. Also, in keeping with ...
