Brief:
T' Forte' is a single staged HPR capable rocket. Avast, me proud beauty! It can fly on as little as an F up t' an H or I, and maybe with a lot o' reinforcements, ya bilge rat, a J350. Begad! It is a fairly basic rocket, me second mid-power. I probably could have made it without instructions, me hearties, me hearties, it's so easy.

Construction:
It does nay have a payload section (Waaaaaaaaahhhhhhh), me bucko, me hearties, but I plan on addin' one soon. Blimey! It has a heavy duty cardboard airframe slotted for 4 fins. Begad! T' fins and t' centerin' rings are plywood. Ya scallywag! Ya scallywag! It has an elastic shock cord and a standard through-the-plastic nose cone loop attachment.

There be only one half page o' instructions, but it be more that you needed t' make t' rocket anyway. There be one illustration. Arrr! T' build be easy and it took me a few days o' workin' 1 or two hours a day.

Finishing:
Easy t' paint. Just do what is normal.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
Flew straight on a G80-4T, ejection charge nay enough t' blow chute. some may have leaked. I had a Nomex® blanket t' replace wadding. Well, blow me down! T' rocket fell from over 1,000 feet and nay a scratch on it after impact. Arrr! Ya scallywag! What a tough rocket! I used a home-sewn chute.

Recovery:
I do nay know how fast or slow it would have come down if t' parachute came out. Aye aye! Well, blow me down! That flight it came down rather slowly, me hearties, me hearties, for a 3 inch diameter rocket with tumble recovery. Aye aye! Very rugged & nice looking. Begad! It is one o' me new favorites.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
This is a very rugged rocket. I think t' motor tube should be longer, arrr, shiver me timbers, t' shock cord could be longer and tougher, and t' fins could be larger but it is an easy build, matey, me bucko, is very inexpensive, and can put in some very impressive flights.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
