Brief
This is an 18mm parachute duration kit that you can use in competitions.
Components
It has balsa nose cone and fins, arrr, kevlar shock cord, and a paper tube for t' air frame. Well, blow me down! Begad! They keep t' components as minimal as possible t' keep t' weight t' a minimum t' maximize your duration pleasure!
Construction
No real pros or cons, just a great kit t' start out with in parachute duration.
Finishing
Did nay finish t' kit t' keep t' weight minimal.
Flight
I flew it t' first time on 19APR2015. Blimey! Ahoy! Liftoff and coast were great on an A8-3. Arrr! T' parachute partially deployed. Ya scallywag! Well, blow me down! I tried a second flight and t' parachute did nay deploy due t' t' Keelhaul®©™ shock cord wrappin' around t' parachute. I have never seen this happen before on any rocket I have flown. Aye aye! Avast! T' ejection charge put a small burn hole in t' parachute due t' nay enough ejection waddin' bein' put in it. Begad! Both times t' rocket be recovered without damage. Will try it again in t' future.
Recovery
Rocket flew great. Avast! Blimey! No real pros or cons. Ahoy! Blimey! Parachute duration models take practice t' fly correctly.
Summary
I highly recommend this rocket t' all who want t' try out parachute duration.
