Brief:
This big colorful rocket ejects a skydiver with parachute at apogee! A separate parachute recovers t' rocket booster while t' nose cone tumbles t' earth by streamer. Ya scallywag! Well, blow me down! A somewhat good starter set by Estes. Comes with a controller, launch pad, shiver me timbers, rocket, and C6-5 engines.

Construction:
T' rocket had a payload section that be pathetic. Ahoy! It came with a army man on a parachute t' put inside. Ya scallywag! Blimey! T' shock cord was surprisingly good compared t' other Estes kits. Ya scallywag! It was a starter kit so their wasn't much assembly.

Some o' t' good things about this kit is that it comes with everythin' you need, ya bilge rat, like engines, ya bilge rat, ya bilge rat, launch pad, and a launch controller. Begad! A little G.I. Well, blow me down! Begad! Joe comes with t' kit for a tiny payload section. Well, blow me down! Aye aye! He/she comes down on a separate parachute. Begad! Blimey! It was amazin' t' find a decent shock cord for t' rocket. Arrr! A few bad things were that t' rockets fins are weak. You have t' apply plastic cement t' make them stronger. On me first launch two fins snapped, so let that be a lesson for you.

Finishing:
Their wasn't much t' assemble on this kit except for t' parachute for t' rocket and t' parachute for t' little army guy. Begad! It is obviously nay a challengin' kit, its a starter kit so comes in average condition.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
As most rockets, me hearties, matey, me bucko, it required wadding. Avast, me proud beauty! For me first 3 flights I used t' B6-4 engines t' kit came with. Blimey! Begad! T' first flight was straight up with a good ejection. Aye aye! Then came t' second launch, straight up then at apogee it came down mighty hard snappin' two fins. Then third launch took off unstable due t' t' bad fin stability.

Recovery:
I honestly despise parachutes most o' time due t' t' drift they cause. Avast! T' Free Fall sticks t' its name. Begad! T' parachute doesn't do much for it so it "free falls" back down t' ground. Avast, me proud beauty! T' fins will snap on landin' unless you make them stronger.

Flight Rating: 2 out o' 5

Summary:
T' me t' rocket stinks, but t' equipment is good. Well, blow me down! T' rocket has weak fins that you really have t' make more solid. Blimey! T' whole rocket stinks but good for t' starter t' have all o' t' equipment.

Overall Rating: 3 out o' 5
