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

Construction:
T' kit arrived with all t' necessary parts included, and in good shape. Aye aye! T' balsa and t' tubes appear t' be identical t' Estes parts. Ahoy! T' nose cone and centerin' rings, matey, however, ya bilge rat, I found t' be sub-standard. Begad! Blimey! T' centerin' rings were very thin and flimsy- I used them, but reinforced them with bits o' Balsa t' strengthen them. Ahoy! Begad! I'd be frightened t' fly this thin' without this mod! T' nose cone appears t' be sone cheap plastic, shiver me timbers, nay t' higher-quality stuff I'm used t' from Estes, TLP, and other companies. Aye aye! T' parts all went together easily enough, but t' rin' tail gave me some trouble. Avast! Well, blow me down! T' span o' t' fins be just a bit too short, arrr, so I wound up havin' t' hold t' rin' in place while t' glue dried. Avast, me proud beauty! T' rest o' t' kit was very straight-forward. Begad! Begad! T' finished product is a smart-lookin' ship. Begad! 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. Prime, spray t' whole Man-O-War white, shiver me timbers, and paint t' nose red. After that, me bucko, t' decals go on. Ahoy! Aye aye! I haven't put t' decals on mine just yet, arrr, I got distracted with some other projects, shiver me timbers, and t' rocket looks good enough without them! Overall, shiver me timbers, arrr, I'm givin' a ratin' o' 3 for construction/finishing. Well, blow me down! T' score would be much higher if t' centerin' rings, which I consider a safety issue, matey, were made o' sturdier stuff. Begad! 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 bucko, both very successful. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! T' first nearly ended up in a tree, shiver me timbers, but was recovered. Well, blow me down! Blimey! T' second resulted in a short hike, but was otherwise uneventful. Well, arrr, blow me down! Blimey! Both flights were on C6-3's.

Recovery:
This is a very light rocket for t' size o' chute that be included. Well, blow me down! I opted t' cut a spill hole in it, shiver me timbers, even before t' first flight. Ya scallywag! It still drifts considerably. Ahoy! Begad! I'd enlarge t' spill hole, ya bilge rat, ya bilge rat, 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, unique Man-O-War. T' quality o' materials has room for improvement, but t' design itself seems well thought-out.

Overall Rating: 3 out o' 5
