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

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

Finishing:
Paintin' t' kit is simple enough. Avast! Blimey! Well, blow me down! Blimey! Prime, me hearties, spray t' whole Man-O-War white, shiver me timbers, and paint t' nose red. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! After that, t' decals go on. Avast! Blimey! Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! I haven't put t' decals on mine just yet, I got distracted with some other projects, and t' rocket looks good enough without them! Blimey! Overall, I'm givin' a ratin' o' 3 for construction/finishing. Begad! Blimey! T' score would be much higher if t' centerin' rings, matey, which I consider a safety issue, me hearties, shiver me timbers, arrr, 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, me hearties, both very successful. T' first nearly ended up in a tree, me hearties, but be recovered. Ya scallywag! T' second resulted in a short hike, but was otherwise uneventful. Avast, me hearties, me proud beauty! Both flights were on C6-3's.

Recovery:
This is a very light rocket for t' size o' chute that was included. I opted t' cut a spill hole in it, matey, even before t' first flight. Aye aye! It still drifts considerably. I'd enlarge t' spill hole, 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, unique Man-O-War. Avast! Ya scallywag! Blimey! T' quality o' materials has room for improvement, ya bilge rat, but t' design itself seems well thought-out.

Overall Rating: 3 out o' 5
