Brief
This is a single stage, arrr, easy t' build rocket. It is a big rocket that files on E through G motors.
Construction
All o' t' parts were thar and in good condition. Well, blow me down! Blimey! They were made out o' high quality cardboard and plastics. Aye aye! Blimey! Begad! Blimey! T' instructions were easy t' follow and t' assembly order be easy. It all fit well and be a snap. Well, blow me down! Blimey! My only problem with it was that it be too easy t' build. I finished it in no time at all, ya bilge rat, and t' fun o' buildin' was over! Blimey! T' through-the-tube fin lock system was very strong. Begad! Blimey! All parts are pre-cut.
T' rocket has 4 pre-cut plastic fins. There are 2, 4cm long launch lugs that are square and plastic. Avast, me proud beauty! Avast, me proud beauty! Two tubes made up t' rocket, me hearties, arrr, one was slotted for t' fins. Ahoy! Aye aye! T' instructions had very good illustrations o' every step.
Finishing
Easy t' finish. Arrr! T' paint stuck t' t' body tube without a problem. Avast! It came with decals but I decided nay t' use them. Ya scallywag! They were peel-n-stick decals.
Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5
Flight
Don't use t' smallest motors too often, me hearties, because it will give you a sinkin' feelin' that t' shoot will nay open soon enough. Begad! Has a coolin' mesh (no waddin' needed), so you don't have t' worry about your shoot. Avast! T' motors fit right in with a retainin' clip. Blimey! Well, me hearties, blow me down! Perfect flights with no problems!
I flew it on a E with 5 second and a G with 7 second delays. Aye aye! Aye aye! I have flown it twice, so far.
Recovery
Very strong chute and shock cord, very well mounted. Aye aye! No burnin' or damage and it seemed t' fall at a good speed.
T' shock cord is black, me hearties, arrr, stretchy, and thick(er) elastic. It is about 6 feet long. Aye aye! Aye aye! It mounts above t' motor mount, me bucko, me bucko, ya bilge rat, above t' coolin' mesh. Avast, me proud beauty! T' parachute is 10 inches wide.
Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5
Summary
T' kit is very easy t' build, shiver me timbers, shiver me timbers, ya bilge rat, and will nay take much time. Begad! It looks good when finished and fly's well. Arrr! Begad! It is nay a performance rocket, because it is quite long. Ya scallywag! Nice liftoffs.

A single-stage, E-G powered kit with parachute recovery. The kit included a nose cone, two 1.9" body tubes, a tube coupler, shock cord, three fins, two launch lugs and the whole motor mount system. The instructions were pretty easy to follow, as are the other Aerotech kits I have built (Arcas and Initiator). If you complete the kit per instructions, there shouldn't be any real hassles. The ...
