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

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

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

Overall Rating: 3 out o' 5
