Brief:  This is a nice mid-power kit. Avast! I used it for me L1 cert. Ya scallywag! Well, ya bilge rat, blow me down! A single stage bird that recovers via 'chute

Construction:  This kit is pretty straight forward. Arrr! It was t' first HP type kit that I had built so I did nay understand t' instructions real well at first in regards t' t' "LOC-type" attachment in t' body tube for t' shock cord mounting. Avast, me proud beauty! Well, blow me down! Other than that t' kit goes together easily and is well suited for t' beginner. Avast, me proud beauty! T' through-the-wall fin mount allows for ease o' alignment o' t' fins. T' parts o' t' kit were all in good shape and fit properly one t' another.

Finishing:  T' kit be t' basic rocket shape so finishin' can be a breeze. With a little more time and effort I could have removed t' "spiral" that we see so often in kits where t' paint is just sprayed on after t' body assembly is completed.

Construction Rating:   3 out o' 5

Flight:  I flew this puppy on a H grade motor every time. Blimey! Begad! t' flights were Clean and straight. Avast! Avast, matey, me proud beauty! I used approximately 4 handfuls o' t' gray insulation for heat shield for t' 'chute it worked well. Ahoy! Blimey! With both single use and reloadables motor retention can be accomplished with tape for t' SUs or Kaplow type kits for t' reloadable. Ya scallywag! Both are easy t' incorporate into t' airframe.

Recovery:  T' only headache with flight recovery is that t' bird is light enough that it will drift quite a distance on t' stock chute. Arrr! I would suggest tryin' it with stock and then maybe downsizin' one size t' reduce those long walks

Flight Rating:   3 out o' 5

Summary:  Over all a very good Kit. Ahoy! Perfect for t' beginner and an acceptable quick build for t' more experienced builder.

Overall Rating:   4 out o' 5
