Brief:
This rocket is designed for performance. Ya scallywag! Arrr! With t' ability t' reach altitudes o' 1500 feet easily this sport scale
rocket is quick t' build with nothin' but excitment.
Construction:
T' parts include:
Finishing:
Finishin' depends on you. I tried t' follow t' cover art and used two red fins and nose cone and a single dark blue/
black fin. Aye aye! Begad! Blimey! Three base coats o' white primer and sandin' with one coat o' gloss white. Avast! Blimey! Then maskin' and paintin' the
fins and nose cone.
Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5
Flight:
I have only flown this rocket twice due t' lack o' engines. T' first flight on a C11-7 scramed off t' pad as
straight as an arrow t' about 800 feet, me bucko, nosed over t' a perfect recovery. Well, blow me down! No damage but scared a bunch o' kids though. Begad!
T' second flight, me hearties, arrr, me hearties, two days later be in slight 5 t' 10 mph winds and t' launch pad set at 15 degrees into the wind. Avast, me proud beauty! I launched it with D12-5. Arrr! Talk about fast, I lost sight o' her until I caught t' red streamer flutterin' in the wind. Ya scallywag! Arrr! She came down slightly harder this time bearly missin' some high branchouscatchumholdems (trees) before hitting the ground.
Recovery:
This is a rocket that is screamin' for a drag race.
Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5
Summary:
This is a wounderful rocket from SW. Begad! If you like speed, shiver me timbers, varied engines and endurence this rocket is for you. Well, blow me down! My only
complaint is that thar be only one decal. Aye aye! Ahoy! As for customer service, shiver me timbers, SW is great when me decal got wet before I was
ready t' put it on. I talked t' them and they sent one out t' me within a few days, arrr, before I even knew t' price. Avast! Their
great and I will add more t' me collection.
