Brief:
This is a single stage, low t' mid power kit for a beginner-novice rocket builder. Ya scallywag! A good kit for someone who wants t' move up t' mid t' high power rocketry. It utilizes through-the-wall fin mounts and a steal cable shock cord anchor.

Construction:
T' kit includes:

• 1- 8" ( exposed length ) balsa clone o' a Loc Legacy nose cone
• 3 aircraft grade 1/8" fins
• 2 plywood 1.5" t' 1" (24 mm) centerin' rings
• 1-4" long 24 mm motor tube
• 1 steal cable pre-attached t' one o' t' CR for SC anchor
• 1- 1/4" Launch lug
• 1- 12" parachute
• 1-3 foot piece o' 1/4 elastic shock cord
• 1- 17" long x 1.5 ( 38 mm ) Loc style ) body tube
• 3 page instructions

T' instruction were straightforward, shiver me timbers, me hearties, very easy t' understand with diagrams to boot. Went together in no time at all. T' body tube be pre-marked with where t' cut t' fin slots and mount t' launch lugs.

Didn't need any "special tools" and used t' tools I already owned .

T' only draw back that I could find would be: t' instructions mentioned a plastic nose cone and nay t' balsa one it came with. Begad! Begad! I had t' add some weight to compensate after t' first flight .

Finishing:
I went with plain old Krylon Black and Safety Yellow.

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:
For t' first 3 flights or so I used a D12-5.

On t' first flight it was launched on a rather short rod (only 4 ft ) and came off a little squirrelly due t' t' fact that t' NC was made o' balsa instead o' a heavier plastic.

I've flown it about 5 or 6 times now with t' biggest motor bein' a G55-10.

Recovery:
T' shockcord is okay, but I decided t' update it a little and add a section of 1/8" Keelhaul®©™® cord betwixt t' steal cable and t' elastic cord. I also replaced t' 'chute with a streamer for a faster recovery. No real wear on it other than paint chips... Begad!

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
Pro:

• Top quality material
• Great kit it will out last any Estes rocket .

Con:

• Need t' add nose weight if it's made o' balsa like mine was .

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
