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

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

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

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

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
I have flown this twice on an E9-6. 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, but it is still flyable. Well, blow me down! Probably just cosmetic. Ahoy! T' second flight was perfect. Aye aye!

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

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. Ya scallywag! Well, shiver me timbers, blow me down! It is a nice lookin' rocket with slow flights up t' about 650'on an E motor. Begad! If you like clusters, arrr, this would be a good kit to add 3 or 4 motors to.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
