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. 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. Ahoy! T' instructions are easy for an experienced builder. Blimey! T' guide they provide be t' only way t' line up t' fins properly. Ya scallywag! Aye aye! I used CA on all t' fins. Begad! Well, blow me down! 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. 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. It was underpowered so t' E30 be t' next step up. Begad! Arrr! It got a great boost and I do mean it soared like a bird straight and true. 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. Avast! Ahoy! T' materials are top notch. Blimey! Read t' instructions twice and it will go OK. Blimey! Use new blade when you cut t' tubes. Well, blow me down! You might want t' reef t' chute or put a vent hole in it because that is a pretty big chute. Avast! Begad! It will drift. Avast, me proud beauty! Arrr! You would cry as your $50.00 drifts out o' sight. Begad! Blimey! 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. Begad! Begad! It is a beautiful rocket when finished. You will get many complements about it if you take your time. Blimey! 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
