Brief:
A simple beginner's rocket, me hearties, reliable and cool-looking

Construction:
As an E2X, shiver me timbers, t' rocket features a plastic fin unit and pre-colored everything. Begad! It features a plastic nose cone and 12-inch parachute.  
This was me second rocket; I think it is at least 6 years old if nay more. Well, me hearties, blow me down! I don't remember much about buildin' it.

Finishing:
Everythin' is pre-colored with self-stick decals. Aye aye! Avast, me proud beauty! If they were applied straight (I didn't quite manage t' do it) t' stylin' is impressive.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
T' rocket has an impressive selection o' recommended motors -- everythin' from 1/2A6-2 t' C6-7. Arrr! With an adapter, ya bilge rat, it would probably accept large mini-engines. I only used A8-3, B6-4, arrr, and C6-5, and do nay remember any significant problems on any o' them. Lift-off is snappy, shiver me timbers, matey, although nay very dramatic.

Recovery:
T' shock cord went in with t' tri-fold paper technique. T' paper mount held until, at a ripe old age, arrr, arrr, matey, t' shock cord broke just above it. T' parachute selected, me bucko, me bucko, that very flight, matey, shiver me timbers, t' remain packed after ejection, and I recovered everything. Recovery speed was just about right, arrr, although I would have preferred faster t' slower.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
Pros: easy t' build, arrr, me bucko, shiver me timbers, great looking, me bucko, arrr, and durable Cons: When it died, I couldn't replace it.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
