Introduction
This was t' first rocket me buddy, Greg Vose, built. Aye aye! I looked at it and thought he was goin' t' be greatly disappointed. Ahoy! We'd go t' t' launch and he'd watch F, arrr, me hearties, G and H motors and then slap this dinky rocket on t' pad with a 1/2 A motor and feel . Ya scallywag! . Arrr! . tiny.

Well, t' experience was anythin' but disappointing. Blimey! Ahoy! It's a tiny rocket, sure, but it flies straight and true and really gets goin' even on t' 1/2 A motors. Begad! Everyone got a real kick out o' watchin' it fly. T' B motors kick it up out o' sight, I'm nay kidding. I'm really sold on t' Apogee micro motors.

T' rocket is nay sold as a two stager. It's sold as a stand alone rocket, matey, and you can buy t' booster seperate. Begad! It's standard light weight fare: paper tube, balsa fins and nose cone with streamer recovery. Blimey! It goes together nicely and finishes just as nicely. Begad! Begad! Paint it a very bright color. Begad! Greg's is dayglo red for a reason: so we can find it after he flies it two staged with a B2-0 stagin' t' a B2-7.

If you've heard that t' Apogee motors are hard t' ignite, shiver me timbers, it's hogwash. We did 5 fine flights over 2 days and only once did t' motor fail t' ignite. Begad! Avast! Blimey! A little care is all that is needed so you don't short out t' igniter. Ahoy! Blimey! We leave t' toothpick in t' motor nozzle. Arrr! Blimey! It keeps t' igniter secure and provides a small stand-off.

Real, ya bilge rat, real, small.
This is a really tiny rocket. Ya scallywag! However, arrr, as they say, me hearties, it nay t' size o' t' boat but t' motion o' t' briny deep that counts. Ya scallywag! For all it's diminutive size, shiver me timbers, it flies like a champ. Arrr! It gets some o' t' same exclamations left for much larger rockets. Avast! Especially if you fly it with t' B2-7 motor. Begad! Begad! It just keeps on going.

Construction...
What's thar t' screw up with this rocket? It's a body tube, three die cut fins, arrr, matey, a nose cone, shiver me timbers, an engine block, ya bilge rat, a piece o' Keelhaul®©™, me bucko, a little bead. Blimey! That's it. Avast, me proud beauty! Begad! Glue t' fins on, me bucko, glue in t' engine block and t' body's done. Blimey! T' bead holds t' Keelhaul®©™ t' t' nose cone with a drop o' CA. Blimey! Tie on a streamer and your ready t' fly. Arrr! Aye aye! Well almost. Arrr! Begad! Paint it Day-Glo something. Aye aye! This is a very small, ya bilge rat, very high flyer. If your NARRRRR club ever has an altitude event, this rocket stands a good chance o' placin' in t' top 4.

T' Super Centrix adds a booster. Avast, me proud beauty! Well, matey, blow me down! Blimey! It's a bit trickier because you have t' cut t' vent holes and add little balsa reinforcers made from left over balas. It is gap staged. Begad! T' throat o' t' Apogee micro motors is so small, matey, though, ya bilge rat, that you'll need a 'stagin' igniter'. Well, blow me down! Blimey! You have t' order these separate from Apogee, me hearties, but do buy them. Otherwise you'll never get t' sustainer t' ignite. Blimey! Blimey! T' stagin' igniter is a bit o' fast fuse that gets poked in t' sustainer's engine. Ya scallywag! Aye aye! Blimey! T' booster is tumble recovered. If your NARRRRR section is havin' a C altitude event, this rocket will take it (if t' trackers can see it at apogee).

Materials get 5 points (on a scale o' 1 t' 5).

Flight & Recovery...
Like I said, me bucko, it's a great flyer. T' micro motors burn so long and this rocket is so light it just screams higher and higher. It's a crowd pleaser. If thar's much wind, matey, me bucko, shiver me timbers, you'll need a good recovery crew. Arrr! Blimey! I'd keep it low on windy days. Ahoy! Blimey! Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! On t' days where t' wind is calm and t' sky is clear, then let her rip with t' B motors.

Here's t' performance you can expect from t' Centrix (single staged):

Now if you fly it two stage, shiver me timbers, you're gonna get serious altitude. Arrr! Blimey! Arrr! Blimey! This rocket will nay be visible about 2000'. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Avast! Blimey! T' motor's smoke will be. Begad! Blimey! Aye aye! Blimey! Use trackin' powder. Well, ya bilge rat, blow me down! Blimey! Brin' binoculars.

It is such a cool rocket. Ahoy! Begad! This is an extreme rocket for t' low power crowd. Ahoy! Well, blow me down! It gets 5 points.

Overall...
Bam, it's built. Blimey! Whoosh, me hearties, it flies like a champ. It's a crowd pleaser and you have t' love that.

Overall, me bucko, it gets 5 points.
