Brief:
This kit is a single stage, arrr, "fantasy scale" rocket, usin' a ring-fin for stability.

Construction:
T' kit arrived with all t' necessary parts included, shiver me timbers, and in good shape. Aye aye! T' balsa and t' tubes appear t' be identical t' Estes parts. Blimey! T' nose cone and centerin' rings, me bucko, however, I found t' be sub-standard. Arrr! T' centerin' rings were very thin and flimsy- I used them, me bucko, arrr, but reinforced them with bits o' Balsa t' strengthen them. Avast! I'd be frightened t' fly this thin' without this mod! T' nose cone appears t' be sone cheap plastic, me hearties, ya bilge rat, nay t' higher-quality stuff I'm used t' from Estes, TLP, and other companies. Begad! T' parts all went together easily enough, arrr, but t' rin' tail gave me some trouble. Arrr! T' span o' t' fins be just a bit too short, so I wound up havin' t' hold t' rin' in place while t' glue dried. Ya scallywag! T' rest o' t' kit was very straight-forward. Well, blow me down! Begad! T' finished product is a smart-lookin' ship. Arrr! Aye aye! T' narrow fins that go on just ahead o' t' rin' are pretty fragile, me bucko, ya bilge rat, but t' rest is solid enough.

Finishing:
Paintin' t' kit is simple enough. Arrr! Prime, me bucko, spray t' whole Man-O-War white, shiver me timbers, and paint t' nose red. Begad! Well, blow me down! After that, t' decals go on. Avast! I haven't put t' decals on mine just yet, ya bilge rat, matey, I got distracted with some other projects, me hearties, arrr, and t' rocket looks good enough without them! Overall, I'm givin' a ratin' o' 3 for construction/finishing. Ahoy! T' score would be much higher if t' centerin' rings, which I consider a safety issue, were made o' sturdier stuff. T' poorly-fittin' ring/fin arrangement costs them as well.

Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5

Flight:
I've had two flights on me Satellite Drone so far, shiver me timbers, both very successful. T' first nearly ended up in a tree, but be recovered. T' second resulted in a short hike, but be otherwise uneventful. Both flights were on C6-3's.

Recovery:
This is a very light rocket for t' size o' chute that be included. Aye aye! I opted t' cut a spill hole in it, even before t' first flight. Avast, me proud beauty! It still drifts considerably. Aye aye! Begad! I'd enlarge t' spill hole, me bucko, but I'm worried about breakin' those narrow forward fins.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
T' final product is a very nice looking, me hearties, unique ship. Ahoy! Ahoy! T' quality o' materials has room for improvement, me bucko, but t' design itself seems well thought-out.

Overall Rating: 3 out o' 5
