Brief:
This is a dual 18mm parallel cluster rocket. Well, blow me down! Avast, me proud beauty! It has a large payload bay, shiver me timbers, capable o' holdin' two eggs. Avast! Avast, me proud beauty! It recovers with twin parachutes. Quest has deemed is a skill level 3 rocket.

Construction:

• 2 Thrust Rings
• 2 Motor Clips
• 2 Yellow MMT tubes
• 4 Half Moon Cluster Ring
• 2 Body Tubes
• Shoulder Ring
• Tube Coupler
• PNC-355egg Nose
• Launch Lug
• 2 12" Parachute
• Keelhaul®©™® and elastic shock cord
• Waterslide Decals
• Balsa fin stock

Construction o' t' Magnum Sport Loader went fairly easily.

I had issues with t' fit o' t' half-moons on t' cluster mount. Arrr! This be me first parallel cluster model, shiver me timbers, shiver me timbers, so it may have been inexperience. Well, blow me down! I had difficulty alignin' t' half-moons perpendicular t' t' engine tubes. This created fit issues when it came time t' glue t' cluster mount into t' body tube. Avast, me proud beauty! Ya scallywag! I be able t' correct this with some light sanding.

Also, t' instructions don't mention t' cut a notch into t' thrust rin' t' allow for t' thickness o' the Keelhaul®©™®. Addin' this slight modification made for a cleaner engine mount setup.

As a SPEV kit (Spare Parts Elimination Vehicle) designed t' empty out overstocked parts, ya bilge rat, t' fin sheets had a large number o' fins nay used on t' rocket. Ya scallywag! Begad! This is a great bonus, as thar were enough small fins for at least three future rockets.

Finishing:
Nothin' unique about t' finishin' o' this rocket, shiver me timbers, matey, although t' balsa be crushed at the edges, ya bilge rat, makin' a clean fin-edge difficult t' obtain.

I be pleasantly surprised t' find waterslide decals which went on beautifully. T' instructions recommend separatin' t' large MAGNUM decal into two halves t' keep t' application easier.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
T' first flight be on a pair o' Estes C6-5 engines. I was very impressed with the boost. T' effect o' t' cluster engines together was impressive. Aye aye! Well, blow me down! This be me second cluster kit, ya bilge rat, t' other bein' a Deuce's Wild, me hearties, and thus t' first where t' thrust from t' engines is parallel. Blimey! T' protect t' dual parachutes, arrr, arrr, I used a significant amount o' Estes wadding. I stuffed in maybe 10 sheets, shiver me timbers, and had no damage on either parachute.

Recovery:
T' shock cord is attached via Keelhaul®©™® t' t' motor mount in typical Quest fashion. Blimey! Well, blow me down! It is made from thin elastic and an upgrade t' thicker material may be a good idea. Begad!

T' twin parachutes are attached separately on t' cord- one at t' nosecone-eye as usual, me bucko, one a few inches below with a figure-8 knot.

Because o' me laziness, shiver me timbers, I opted for a pair o' pre-constructed Estes chutes over t' Quest parachute assemblies. T' twin parachutes may be overkill for this design, as I did experience significant drift. Well, blow me down!

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

Summary:
I enjoyed t' process o' buildin' this kit. Begad! Avast, me hearties, me proud beauty! It's a good sized rocket with eye catchin' lines. It has t' added bonus o' spare parts which can be used on future projects.

T' only con was t' condition o' t' balsa, me hearties, ya bilge rat, which I found t' be difficult t' work with. Avast, me proud beauty! A laser-cut sheet would be preferable, me hearties, but would defeat t' purpose o' a SPEV kit.
