Brief:
This be t' same model as t' 3x24 cluster edition . Begad! Avast! T' difference is a single 29mm mount. Begad! If you are lookin' for a big rocket and big thrills that won't break t' bank, arrr, ya bilge rat, your search is over.

Construction:

Instructions for this model were straight forward, arrr, arrr, no surprises. I used 5min. epoxy for all joints. I was unsure about t' fiberboard shock cord mount.It seemed that might be a weak point, me hearties, ya bilge rat, so I epoxied a piece o' 1/8' ply t' the back side, ya bilge rat, drilled then attached t' eye-bolt. I used Keelhaul®©™® shock cord that extended just t' t' end o' t' body tube then attached t' 60"elastic shock cord t' it. Well, blow me down! Avast! My other concern be t' paper fin covering. It turned out fine though, I did use t' glue stick method. Arrr! It worked well. Begad! I also added positive motor retention with threaded inserts, ya bilge rat, screws, arrr, and a drawer repair bracket. Ahoy! It was an easy build for me. This was me first mid power kit. Well, blow me down!

Finishing:
Finishin' was an easy job. I got good transitions on t' paper fin covering. Avast, me proud beauty! I sealed the open edges with thin CA. Well, blow me down! Arrr! I filled t' tube grooves with thinned Elmer wood filler, shiver me timbers, matey, then sanded t' whole unit. Begad! Avast! I started with 2 coats o' Valspar white primer. Well, blow me down! Sanded with 220, then painted with 2 coats o' Valspar white. Begad! I washed ,then sanded t' nose cone, and painted with Valspar plastic paint. Begad! I applied t' water slide decals with no problems and finished with 2 coats o' Krylon crystal clear. Arrr!

T' recommended motors are an F45-5, F42-4, G40-4, and G80-7. Ya scallywag! Aye aye! Winds were calm. Begad!

Maiden flight be with a G76-4G. Avast! It was a perfect shot, nice and straight. Aye aye! It went t' about 900ft. Avast, me proud beauty!

#2 was on a F40-7W maybe 500ft.Delay was t' long for comfort, but we survived.Paper coverin' peeled partially away on one fin tip. Aye aye! No problem thin CA t' t' rescue.

#3 was a G76-4G. Aye aye! This seems t' be t' perfect motor for this big rocket. Avast!

Recovery:
I used a piece o' Keelhaul®©™® extendin' just beyond t' body tube t' attach t' elastic shock chord to. Begad! T' 36" parachute was fine. Blimey! Arrr! All three shots it landed within 100ft o' pad. Aye aye! Descent be nice and slow. Avast! On a windy day you might have t' walk a ways.

Summary:
This is a easy buildin' rocket. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! T' only thin' I might change would be t' balsa paper covered fins. Blimey! Lite ply would be better. Well, blow me down! Blimey! All parts were good quality. Arrr! It's nice t' have a big rocket that you can see all stages o' a launch clearly. Blimey! Slow take off. Ahoy! Nice straight ascent. Avast! Apogee and chute deployment. I think it's a great kit.
