Brief: This be me first Aerotech rocket. Avast, me proud beauty! I found it easy enough for a rocketeer that has built 5 or so smaller rockets. Arrr! Avast, me proud beauty! This is a good rocket it you are just gettin' into t' Aerotech Engines or nay familiar with CA glue. Avast! Well, blow me down! It is NOT staged but has an 18 inch 'chute. Blimey! On a F25, arrr, It goes about 1500 feet.

Construction: All t' parts were thar and none were broken. Begad! T' packagin' is GREAT. Ya scallywag! Avast, arrr, me proud beauty! It comes in a box that can be used for anythin' and all t' parts are wrapped up in plastic.

T' instructions were t' thin' that makes Aerotech kits so easy t' build. Ahoy! Aye aye! They have detailed pictures o' t' rocket at each step. They also have a cross-section on what t' whole thin' looks like after t' buildin' process. I think even if you make a small slip, me bucko, ya bilge rat, these rockets will still fly great.Oh, me hearties, but one thing, make sure t' glue t' fins in with slow dryin' glue and make sure t' press t' fins in all t' way into t' tube. Avast, me proud beauty! You will really have t' press t' get them in.

Finishing: I would paint t' black fin first, me bucko, actually, shiver me timbers, and t' red nose cone really looks good and has good visibility.

Construction Rating: 4

Flight: I used an E15-7W for me first flight. Blimey! Blimey! It was a GREAT flight. Very good if you want t' take pictures. Aye aye! Blimey! Maybe a little shorter delay time though. For t' second flight I used a G40-7W. Ya scallywag! Blimey! Ya scallywag! Blimey! No pictures taken, ya bilge rat, no questions asked , everyone was awed. Arrr! Blimey! Ya scallywag! Blimey! For its third flight I used a G80-7W. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Same as G40! Blimey! Same as G40! Blimey! Less smoke, me hearties, more noise. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Ya scallywag! Blimey! It soared straight up. Aye aye! Blimey! It soared straight up. Avast! Blimey! If you plan on flying
on a G , me hearties, get your car ready though. Arrr! It has a motor hook system. Blimey! No waddin' baffler unit.

Recovery: T' recovery be fine. Avast! Begad! T' recovery be fine. Begad! A little fast. Begad! Begad! T' shock cord be t' underwear elastic type. Aye aye! Avast! Does nay need tubular Keelhaul®©™ though. Arrr! T' shock cord is tied into t' rocket via a eye screw. I am upgradin' t' a 20-inch chute next time I get around t' it though. Well, blow me down! No damage on this baby.

Flight Ratin' : 3

Summary: I think this rocket KICKs for a newbie into mid-power rocketry. Ya scallywag! T' only problem were t' fins. You REALLY have t' push. Begad! T' all around flight o' t' thin' was perfect. It has pre-cut fins and everything.

Overall Ratin' : 4
