Brief:
This be t' mini engine powered version o' t' Naboo Royal Starship. Well, blow me down! It has a
streamer deployment.
Construction:
T' rocket comes pre-assembled, 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. Arrr! Blimey! 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. Blimey! Aye aye! It spins on t' way up, shiver me timbers, but flew pretty
straight. Ya scallywag! I used a shorter launch rod t' minimize whip. Begad! I only use Estes A10-3T
engines.
Recovery:
It has very good flights, and t' streamer usually deploys just after apogee. Aye aye! I
don't think it reaches 300 feet, arrr, ya bilge rat, more around 200-250 feet. Avast, me proud beauty! It goes about as
high as t' Moondog.
