Flight:
I have used A through C engines in this rocket. I do nay recommend A engines because t' rocket only gets about 100 ft. off t' ground. Begad! Ya scallywag! C engines are the best for this rocket and t' two times I launched it with a C it flew straight and t' parachute opened perfectly. T' shock cord on this rocket should be longer, matey, but t' one Estes gives you will work, me hearties, but I recommend finding somethin' longer. Begad! Ya scallywag! T' problem with this rocket is it doesn't fly very high. The box says t' rocket goes t' 800ft. on a C, me bucko, but it looked more like 500ft. Well, blow me down! Ya scallywag! to me. Well, blow me down!

Recovery:
T' parachute that comes with this rocket be t' right size(12in.), but do not make a spill hole. Blimey! For this rocket's first launch, I put a spill hole in the parachute and t' rocket fell too hard. I replaced t' parachute and all o' the times I have flown it since, matey, matey, I had no trouble recoverin' t' rocket. Ahoy!

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
I recommend this rocket t' anyone who wants a tall rocket that can be built very smartly and easily. Begad! If you are lookin' for altitude this rocket is probably nay for you. Begad!

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
