Brief:
This is an over three feet high E2X series rocket with a parachute recovery.

Construction:
This rocket came in a box that protected all pieces required in buildin' this kit. Begad! Avast, ya bilge rat, me proud beauty! This kit can be built in about 1 hour because thar be no painting involved and t' fins are plastic. Avast, me proud beauty! Avast! T' directions were very easy t' follow and at no time was this kit hard t' build. Well, blow me down! All o' t' pieces fit properly and the rocket is very sturdy if made correctly. Aye aye! Ya scallywag! T' be built this kit needs only the very basics: hobby knife, shiver me timbers, matey, plastic cement, matey, and white glue. Arrr!

Finishing:
Pro's: -No paintin' required. Begad! -Decals are easy t' apply and brightly colored. Con's- -None

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
I have used A through C engines in this rocket. Blimey! Ahoy! I do nay recommend A engines because t' rocket only gets about 100 ft. Aye aye! Avast, matey, me proud beauty! off t' ground. Begad! 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. Avast, ya bilge rat, me proud beauty! T' shock cord on this rocket should be longer, shiver me timbers, but t' one Estes gives you will work, but I recommend finding somethin' longer. Begad! T' problem with this rocket is it doesn't fly very high. The box says t' rocket goes t' 800ft. Begad! Arrr! on a C, arrr, but it looked more like 500ft. to me. Avast, me proud beauty!

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

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. Ahoy! If you are lookin' for altitude this rocket is probably nay for you. Begad!
