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

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

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

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

Overall Rating: 3 out o' 5
