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

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

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

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

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

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

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. Begad! Well, ya bilge rat, blow me down! T' Keelhaul®©™® blanket will save on waddin' for this wide mouth rocket. Begad! Well, me hearties, blow me down! Be careful with t' twin chutes as they will tangle, but they do look good comin' down. 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. Ahoy! Begad! It is a nice lookin' rocket with slow flights up t' about 650'on an E motor. Begad! If you like clusters, me bucko, ya bilge rat, this would be a good kit to add 3 or 4 motors to. Avast!

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
