Brief:
This is a replica o' t' Firefox jet that be in t' Clint Eastwood movie.It has offset tubes; that was a plus for me. Aye aye! Aye aye! It comes with a huge 32 inch parachute.

Construction:
T' parts list:

• 1 BT-50 3.75
• 2 BT-80 18
• 1 BT-60 18
• 1 24 mm engine block
• 2 Crescent moon die cut pieces(I wish these were a little more sturdy or even wood)
• 1 1/4" Launch Lug 3.0
• 1 PNC-80 nose cone
• 2 win' sheets (the wings have t' be glued together)
• 1 dorsal fin
• 2 tail fins
• 1 D size engine hook
• 1 32 inch parachute with cotton strin' and eyestickers for holes
• 1 8ft long piece o' Keelhaul®©™® shock cord
• 1 instruction sheets and markin' guide
• 1 spruce stick

Instructions need t' be read twice then follow them carefully t' t' letter. Begad! T' instructions are easy for an experienced builder. T' guide they provide be t' only way t' line up t' fins properly. Arrr! Blimey! I used CA on all t' fins. Arrr! I also used t' double glue method o' applyin' some glue, let almost dry, then apply some more just before you attach the wings and fins.

Finishing:
I primed and sanded before paintin' black and 5 coats o' clear. Ahoy! Ahoy! Blimey! I attached decals then shot another coat o' clear on top o' them.

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:
I used t' D12-3 on first flight. Arrr! Avast, me proud beauty! It was underpowered so t' E30 be t' next step up. Avast, me proud beauty! Aye aye! It got a great boost and I do mean it soared like a bird straight and true. Aye aye! I used a 5" x 5" sheet o' Nomex®. T' dog barf is a drag man.

Recovery:
I used t' duct tape on t' shock cord t' prevent zippering. Begad! T' materials are top notch. Aye aye! Read t' instructions twice and it will go OK. Use new blade when you cut t' tubes. Avast! You might want t' reef t' chute or put a vent hole in it because that is a pretty big chute. It will drift. You would cry as your $50.00 drifts out o' sight. Well, blow me down! Aye aye! Be careful of those tip on t' two tail fins.

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

Summary:
T' rocket is a good test o' ones buildin' skills so don't be afraid t' give it a shot. Ya scallywag! It is a beautiful rocket when finished. Well, blow me down! You will get many complements about it if you take your time. Avast! Begad! My main con would be that t' fins should be laser cut for a clean look although mine came out OK.

Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
