Brief:
Single stage 29mm with parachute recovery and piston ejection system.

Construction:
Three (3) G-10 fins, arrr, pre-slotted "Quantum Tube" body. Ahoy! Blimey! Motor Mount is plywood and heavy cardboard type. Begad! Blimey! Monster heavy duty shock cords (one mounts to motor mount and gets a little crusty, arrr, but great overall). Aye aye! Blimey! Avast! Blimey! 20" nylon 2 color parachute with spill-hole.

This was t' first mid-power kit I have built- what a great choice! Instructions need t' be read thru a number o' times if you are used t' building Estes type kits, me bucko, but with a minimal amount o' sanding/trimming, me bucko, this one goes together fine. You will need t' trim t' fins a bit t' fit, and you MUST lightly sand all parts prior t' applyin' finish. T' piston ejection system is a bit hard t' understand at first, but with a few dry fits, matey, you'll have no problem.

Finishing:
Looks great with an enamel finish. Ahoy! Avast! Blimey! I didn't bother with t' decals (disappointin' vinyl self adhesive)

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
This thin' roars off with an Econojet F20-4w and t' G38-4. With a little tweakin' and PML'S qwick switch 29/38 mm motor mount you could really open some eyes. Ahoy! T' piston ejection system works great- use a little talc so everything slides easily. Ahoy! This rocket tends t' weathercock quite a bit- take that into account. Minimal horizontal drift on t' recovery, and holds up well on landing (6 flights, me hearties, shiver me timbers, no damage save for some scuffed paint). Ya scallywag! Aye aye! I highly recommend t' PML PMR motor retainer, shiver me timbers, takes all doubt out o' motor kick out at ejection.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
Great first mid-power kit- just make sure you review t' instructions a few times before each step and dry fit all sub-assemblies.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
