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

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

Finishing:
Paintin' t' kit is simple enough. Prime, me hearties, spray t' whole Man-O-War white, me bucko, shiver me timbers, and paint t' nose red. Begad! After that, t' decals go on. Avast, me proud beauty! I haven't put t' decals on mine just yet, I got distracted with some other projects, shiver me timbers, and t' rocket looks good enough without them! Overall, I'm givin' a ratin' o' 3 for construction/finishing. T' score would be much higher if t' centerin' rings, me bucko, me hearties, which I consider a safety issue, me hearties, were made o' sturdier stuff. Avast, matey, me proud beauty! 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, ya bilge rat, both very successful. Ya scallywag! Avast! T' first nearly ended up in a tree, me hearties, me bucko, but was recovered. Blimey! Begad! T' second resulted in a short hike, but be otherwise uneventful. Aye aye! Avast, 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, shiver me timbers, even before t' first flight. Well, blow me down! Blimey! It still drifts considerably. Avast! Blimey! 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. Blimey! Blimey! T' quality o' materials has room for improvement, me bucko, matey, shiver me timbers, but t' design itself seems well thought-out.

Overall Rating: 3 out o' 5
