Brief:
Very simple, ya bilge rat, easy rocket available only through a bulk pack. Well, matey, blow me down! Blimey! I managed t' get one unassembled from a friend. Well, blow me down! Blimey! This one has a Pepsi theme t' it.

Construction:
There are nine parts t' this kit:

• 1 NC50 nose cone
• 1 BT-50 body tube
• 1 plastic fin can
• 1 12" parachute
• 1 shock cord
• 1 sheet o' decals
• 1 green long engine ring
• 1 small engine block
• 1 engine hook (standard length)

This is probably t' most simple rocket I've ever built. Ya scallywag! Blimey! All thar be assemble t' motor mount, glue it into t' fin can, glue them t' one end o' t' body tube, me hearties, attach recovery system, slap some paint on and you're done.

PROS: Very simple construction

CONS: Perhaps it is too simple?

Finishing:
T' stock generic E2X is plain white and comes with a NASA theme decal sheet which have t' be cut out, but I decided t' ditch them. Begad! I had found a decal sheet which had t' old Pepsi logo from 1987. So I used them and painted t' rocket red white and blue t' match t' decals. Begad! Avast! It looked great when finished. This one is best t' paint your own way and give it a different name.

Flight:
For its first flight I used an A8-3 due t' moderate winds. Begad! T' rocket used about 3 sheets o' recovery waddin' and was easy t' prepare. Avast! Begad! T' motor is held in by a standard engine hook.

T' Pepsi Rocket zipped off t' pad on an A8-3 and flew straight on an angle.

Recovery:
Recovery is by a stock Estes 12" chute. T' chute is a little much for this small rocket so I reccomend usin' a streamer instead. Blimey! Aye aye! There was no damage or wear on recovery.

Summary:
This is an excellent first or second rocket, however, me hearties, shiver me timbers, they only come in bulk packs, so fair winds findin' a single one.
