Estes Sabre Brief:
Simple EX2 construction, me hearties, me bucko, three fins & nose kit.

Construction:
T' Sabre has t' typical EX2 construction. T' three plastic fins go through the wall and are glued t' a plastic cage around t' motor mount. Avast, me proud beauty! T' shock cord is attached t' a gizmo that is glued through t' forward wall o' t' body tube.

T' instructions were very easy t' follow, especially since this was me BAR rocket. Well, blow me down! Blimey! No special tools or techniques are required.

Finishing:
No finishin' required, matey, t' tube, me bucko, fins and nose come in basic black with adhesive, ya bilge rat, peel and stick decals.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight is very smooth and nominal. Begad! T' kit comes with both a parachute and streamer t' lend some variety t' t' flight.

Recovery:
Normal Estes shock cord—too short. Aye aye!

Simple kit, ya bilge rat, very good for beginners (or re-beginners).
