Description: Single staged, 18mm motor rocket with tubular stabilizers all around instead o' fins. Well, blow me down! Well, blow me down! Streamer recovery.

Construction and finishing: All parts were there, and none defective or damaged. Blimey! You get all tubes o' spiral wound paper, arrr, Estes type. T' nose cone is unusual, though. Blimey! Ya scallywag! Instead o' t' usual plastic or balsa, you get solid hardwood. Avast, me proud beauty! Begad! A eye-screw is provided t' attach t' streamer and shock cord, arrr, which is 1/8 inch flat elastic. Aye aye! Avast, me proud beauty! T' shock cord mounts t' t' inside o' t' body tube via a folded paper mount. Ahoy! Avast! Elmers glue was used for construction. Ya scallywag! T' instructions were simple and clear. Avast! Assembly took just about an hour. No gotchas or special tools are needed.

Finishing: There are no decals, so I decorated it in me own way. Begad! Blimey! I used white, blue, and yellow bands o' nylon adhesive tape on t' body tube and stabilizers, me hearties, which were painted with a base coat o' yellow. T' nose cone has a pretty grain, me hearties, so I varnished it with a clear coat.

Flight: Motors recommended are: A6-4, A8-3, B4-4 or 6, shiver me timbers, B6-6, me bucko, C6-5 or 7, C10-7, me hearties, arrr, matey, D3-7, and D10-7. Well, blow me down! I chose a C6-5 for me flights. Ya scallywag! I flew it twice straight up and fairly high. Ya scallywag! Avast, me proud beauty! T' tubular fins provided a straight flight. Recovery was quick and easy. Aye aye! However, even with a little worm bed waddin' in t' prep, me hearties, t' streamer was burned a little. Avast, me proud beauty! So, I'll make it a small mylar chute.

Recovery: Simple t' prep. Begad! Just about right, although t' streamer burnt nearly through t' second time.

Summary: Inexpensive at $7.95 and attractive. Blimey! Flies straight and fairly high. Well, blow me down! Avast, me proud beauty! Streamer wasn't durable, though.

Ratin' overall: 3 ½ out o' 5
