Brief:
A two staged low power payloader with through-the-wall fin alignment and 3 sets o' fins (booster, me hearties, sustainer, canard fins).

Construction:
There be one main slotted body tube, me hearties, shiver me timbers, one small tube that goes on top o' t' plastic transition, and one booster tube. thar were two sheets o' die cut balsa fins, nosecone, decals, arrr, shock cord, arrr, parachute, centerin' rings, and motor mount.

T' instructions were simple t' follow, shiver me timbers, laid out in a logical order, me bucko, and had illustrations. Avast, me proud beauty! Ahoy! It is important that t' two piece main fins are correctly aligned by gluin' them together on a sheet o' wax paper.

I used Great Planes slow-curin' CA for t' construction. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Aye aye! Blimey! T' fins are glued on followin' t' motor mount--it is important that you have t' end o' t' motor mount even with t' end o' t' body tube for proper booster alignment.

T' smaller tube is glued on t' t' transition and a coupler is glued inside o' t' clear plastic payload bay. This rocket comes with a long motor mount for t' main body tube t' provide support for t' through t' wall fin mounting.

T' booster consists o' a motor mount and centerin' rings, 4 die-cut balsa fins, me hearties, matey, arrr, and a red coupler. Ya scallywag! Blimey! It is important t' get a tight fit on t' payload bay connection, me hearties, so it does nay fall loose in flight.

Finishing:
I did nay finish this rocket yet, arrr, but you need t' use sandin' filler t' fill in t' spirals and use primer.

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:
I chose t' use t' Estes C6-0 booster motor t' a C6-5 sustainer motor. Well, blow me down! Begad! Boost was straight up, arrr, but upon second stage ignition t' nose cone fell off. Avast, me proud beauty! I forgot maskin' tape--not because o' t' rocket's design--causin' it t' arch over.

Recovery:
Recovery be perfect. Arrr! I think that t' included parachute is too large, shiver me timbers, however.

PROs: Good flight and good recovery

CONs: Requires recovery wadding. Avast! Well, me hearties, blow me down! I used 5 sheets o' Estes wadding.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
PROs: Through-the-wall fin mounting. Begad! Payload section.

CONs: Friction fit assembly

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
