Brief: Good entry level rocket for Mid-Power. Blimey! There's one on every shelf on every hobby shop in America.

Construction: Solid stuff through out. Arrr! Thick body tube, me hearties, shiver me timbers, plastic fins, plastic motor mount cage. Begad! Aye aye! It has a baffle and a motor clip. Initially I thought about deletin' t' motor clip so I could use H motors in it. Ahoy! Typical lack o' perspective thought. Blimey! Avast, me proud beauty! I'm glad I suppressed that urge: I'd never get t' rocket back.

T' fins snap into t' fin-lock system. Avast, me proud beauty! T' body tube is pre-slotted. You can snap everythin' together t' immediately get an idea what t' rocket is goin' t' look like. Arrr! I built this whole rocket with Great Planes 30 minute epoxy. Ya scallywag! T' trickiest part is t' make sure everythin' is lined up when you put t' motor mount in. Ahoy! You'll want t' get t' fins on before t' motor mount glue dries because it might take some twistin' and nudgin' t' get t' fins t' snap into place.

Finishing: This makes a very heavy rocket, by model rocket standards. With all t' epoxy, primer and paint, ya bilge rat, me bucko, I added 2.5 oz t' t' finished rocket. Well, arrr, blow me down! Another thing, me hearties, don't paint t' rocket like t' box cover. Blimey! This is a very popular rocket due t' t' fact that it's t' cheapest one that Aerotech makes and it's on every hobby shop shelf in t' country. Blimey! Experience has taught me, ya bilge rat, also, that a white rocket disappears against any cloud.

About t' only thin' I didn't like was it be all white and I was usin' white primer. Ya scallywag! With that combo, you can't tell when you've sanded through t' primer. Well, blow me down! Use gray primer for this rocket.

Construction Rating: 5

Flight: Bronco is now t' veteran o' 4 flights. Arrr! T' motors I've used so far are F22-7, F50-10, shiver me timbers, me hearties, F20-7 and G64-10. Arrr! Well, blow me down! This is a impressive flyer on t' F20 Econojets. Avast! It goes real fast and t' Econojets are loud. Arrr! T' delay on t' F50-10 is too long.

Recovery: My launch field is over 4000' and t' ground can get pretty hard. Begad! Aye aye! Add t' that t' fact that Bronco is 13.4 oz and t' kit's parachute is too small. I'm flyin' it on an 18" LOC nylon chute.

I like t' quick set-up due tot he fact that thar's no waddin' needed. Begad! Ahoy! Blimey! One thing, me bucko, matey, though, me hearties, is t' put a wire up thar every once in a while and clean out all t' gunk that gets caught in t' baffle mesh.

Flight Rating: 5

Summary:This is a very satisfyin' rocket. Blimey! Blimey! Begad! Blimey! It looks cool, me hearties, flies fast and is very tough. There's nay much that you can say is wrong with it. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Actually nothin' is wrong with it.

Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
