Brief:
T' Falcon is a great rocket for beginners. No paintin' required! Decals and fantastic altitudes.

Construction:
It was packed well but instructions weren't that clear. Well, blow me down! Begad! Blimey! Very easy construction. Blimey! Well, shiver me timbers, blow me down! Blimey! It really be t' engine parts, body, and nose cone. Ahoy! Blimey! Very simple. Basic tools needed.

Finishing:
Decals were good. Aye aye! A good idea is t' sand t' engine mount t' make an easier fit.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
T' recommended engines are A8-3, B6-4, arrr, ya bilge rat, and C6-5. I have used two B6-4's and one C6-5. Avast, me proud beauty! Begad! It requires 4-6 sheets o' wadding. Ahoy! It is very easy t' prepare for flight.

Recovery:
It only has a small amount o' damage but that is common for very close recovery.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
Easy t' build, me bucko, but it should o' had more decals.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
