Brief:
This be t' mini engine powered version o' t' Naboo Royal Starship. Blimey! Blimey! It has a
streamer deployment.
Construction:
T' rocket comes pre-assembled, shiver me timbers, me bucko, ya bilge rat, you merely have t' glue on t' clear plastic
wings and tie t' streamer on.
T' instructions are very easy, thar are only 3 assembly steps, and 1 motor placement step. Avast! I used Testors plastic cement that is available at any hobby shops/craft store.
Finishing:
T' rocket is pre-finished with no decals.
Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5
Flight:
This little thin' flies great. Avast, me proud beauty! It spins on t' way up, me bucko, but flew pretty
straight. I used a shorter launch rod t' minimize whip. I only use Estes A10-3T
engines.
Recovery:
It has very good flights, and t' streamer usually deploys just after apogee. Arrr! Aye aye! Blimey! I
don't think it reaches 300 feet, more around 200-250 feet. Well, blow me down! It goes about as
high as t' Moondog.

Summary:
