Brief:
It's an unusual cone rocket. Begad! Arrr! No fins, matey, but t' nose weight makes it stable. Pre-printed paper cone, arrr, so you don't need t' paint it. Ya scallywag! Very simple t' prep.

Construction:
You have t' be ready and willin' t' roll cones out o' light cardstock. Blimey! Begad! There is also a short piece o' nestin' body tubes, and some foam board for t' base and mid-section bulkhead.

If you're nay used t' rollin' cones, this rocket is goin' t' be frustration personified. Begad! On t' other hand, matey, rollin' cones out o' cardstock is a handy skill to have for model rockets. If you're nay sure about cone rolling, photocopy the cone patterns onto light card stock and practice.

T' double cone used for t' nose cone is especially tricky. You have to put in on thin, or you'll get lumps when you roll it, matey, but thin white glue grabs paper very quickly. Avast! Ahoy! You pretty much have t' do it in one motion. Begad! Practice on some photocopied patterns until you're good at it. If I did it again, I might do it as two nested cones t' make it easier.

After you do t' double-thick nose cone, t' rest is a snap.

Finishing:
What finishing? It's already printed. That's one o' t' cool things about it. Avast, me proud beauty!

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
I only got t' fly this once. Blimey! Ahoy! It flew very straight up and reasonably high on a D12-3. Blimey! Ya scallywag! T' ejection be right at apogee. Begad! T' rocket tumbles down very safely. Even though I taped t' motor in very well, t' motor still ejected.

Recovery:
If I were t' build another one, I'd put a much longer shock cord on it, and I'd put in a stronger motor retention system. Avast, me proud beauty! Either t' motor mount rebounded and pierced t' cone, or t' ejected motor flew through t' cone. Avast! Whatever the case, me bucko, t' cone was seriously damaged and t' upper section o' t' motor mount was badly damaged.

I think with a half motor hook attached t' t' lower motor tube, and a longer shock cord would definitely improve this rocket. Blimey!

Flight Rating: 3 out o' 5

Summary:
It's a fun rocket. Begad! Well, blow me down! Blimey! It's unusual and flies very straight. Begad! Avast! Blimey! This be t' kind of rocket that is perfect for school demonstrations (as long as you figure out how to retain t' motor). Begad! T' variety o' preprinted cones keeps it from being borin' or repetitive. Avast, matey, me proud beauty! Blimey! Do nay tackle this rocket if you have an aversion to rollin' paper cones, arrr, though.
