Brief:
This is a single stage, arrr, low t' mid power kit for a beginner-novice rocket builder. Arrr! Avast, me proud beauty! A good kit for someone who wants t' move up t' mid t' high power rocketry. Blimey! 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, very easy t' understand with diagrams to boot. Well, blow me down! Went together in no time at all. T' body tube was 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. Avast! 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 be 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, me hearties, ya bilge rat, 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. Blimey! I also replaced t' 'chute with a streamer for a faster recovery. Blimey! No real wear on it other than paint chips... Ahoy!

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 .
