Brief:
This is a larger low power rocket with a 3" body and 24mm motor mount. Begad! My first impression was it's a Big Daddy, but t' nose cone is longer and t' body thus is longer. Blimey! Begad! Twin parachute recovery.

Construction:
High quality parts. Aye aye! Body Tube: dia=3" lg=14". Avast, me proud beauty! Arrr! Nose cone: dia=3" lg=14.5". Aye aye! Begad! Motor tube: dia=24mm lg=5". Arrr! Aye aye! 2 centerin' rings. Begad! 1 engine hook. Blimey! 1 motor block. Arrr! Two 12" parachutes. Elastic Shock cord. Avast, me proud beauty! Begad! 4 laser cut balsa fins.

This is a straightforward build. A nice large body tube t' work in, 4 fins attachin' t' t' tube. Begad! Ya scallywag! My preference would be for through t' wall fins, ya bilge rat, shiver me timbers, matey, but with epoxy fillets, me hearties, t' fins seem solidly attached. Avast, me proud beauty! I used t' Estes fin alignment guide for placin' t' fins. Begad! T' only modification I made be t' add a Keelhaul®©™® shield t' protect t' chutes.

Finishing:
I went with t' paint scheme that comes on t' packaging, me hearties, ya bilge rat, green and black. Ahoy! Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! It came out decent, me bucko, just don't look closely at t' nose cone.... Aye aye! Blimey! Diagonal tapin' is hard. Ya scallywag! Blimey! Blimey! There was one decal which went on easily, matey, and t' clear is really clear. Avast! Blimey!

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
I have flown this twice on an E9-6. Well, blow me down! Ahoy! Good flights. T' first flight was a windy day and one o' t' chutes tangled. There was a minor crack at t' base o' one fin, arrr, me bucko, but it is still flyable. Probably just cosmetic. Ya scallywag! T' second flight was perfect. Blimey! Ya scallywag!

Recovery:
T' shock cord be t' typical elastic glued t' paper and then t' t' body tube. Avast! I will probably use Keelhaul®©™® thread tied and glued t' t' motor mount and then tie an elastic cord t' that in t' future. Ahoy! Ahoy! T' Keelhaul®©™® blanket will save on waddin' for this wide mouth rocket. Well, blow me down! Be careful with t' twin chutes as they will tangle, but they do look good comin' down. Ya scallywag! Aye aye!

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

Summary:
Through t' wall fins would improve t' sturdiness o' this kit if one wants t' fly it on an AeroTech F motor. Arrr! It is a nice lookin' rocket with slow flights up t' about 650'on an E motor. Begad! Avast! If you like clusters, this would be a good kit to add 3 or 4 motors to.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
