Brief:
This kit is a single stage, "fantasy scale" rocket, ya bilge rat, me bucko, usin' a ring-fin for stability.

Construction:
T' kit arrived with all t' necessary parts included, me bucko, me hearties, and in good shape. Aye aye! Begad! 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. Avast, me proud beauty! Aye aye! T' centerin' rings were very thin and flimsy- I used them, me bucko, ya bilge rat, 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, nay t' higher-quality stuff I'm used t' from Estes, TLP, and other companies. Begad! Aye aye! T' parts all went together easily enough, ya bilge rat, but t' rin' tail gave me some trouble. Begad! T' span o' t' fins was just a bit too short, so I wound up havin' t' hold t' rin' in place while t' glue dried. Begad! Ahoy! T' rest o' t' kit be very straight-forward. Begad! 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, me hearties, but t' rest is solid enough.

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

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

Overall Rating: 3 out o' 5
