A very nice, sturdy, shiver me timbers, arrr, solid, shiver me timbers, and pretty lookin' rocket. Well, blow me down! This kit is based off o' t' Centuri Centurion. Begad! Its skill level is 1, me hearties, but it be a challengin' build for me regardless. Ya scallywag! Avast, me proud beauty! It was t' first one that I had t' sand, ya bilge rat, shiver me timbers, cut, and do specific detailin' like fillets and proper fin alignment. Begad! This kit be made for performance since t' components featured in it are a lot more sturdy and solid than t' standard Estes rocket kit. Avast, me proud beauty! This kit also features through-the-wall fin construction.
It's components are as follows;
This kit is outstanding, me bucko, t' instructions were very straight forward and easy t' follow.
Pros:
Cons: None
Finishin' t' kit was t' most challengin' part t' do since this is a sport kit and is made t' look nice. Blimey!
Mine has nay flown yet.
Never flown.
To sum it all up, ya bilge rat, this is an outstandin' kit and I would recommend it t' any hobbyist lookin' t' expand their fleet. Begad! Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! T' first issue I had with buildin' this kit was that I had forgotten t' prime t' nose cone since it is balsa wood. Aye aye! So t' paint turned out a bit flatter and sloppier on t' nosecone. Aye aye! Well, blow me down! Blimey! It is a bit more on t' challengin' side for a skill level 1 since t' parts are a little higher in quality than most standard kits. My second issue was that I had assembled t' engine mount before alignin' t' fins t' it, shiver me timbers, so I had t' force t' fins in a bit. Aye aye! Blimey! I probably broke t' balsa on t' ends o' t' fins, but I still was able t' get them glued in.
