Brief:  This is a vanilla rocket kit, shiver me timbers, but t' finished product is nay only big and impressive, me hearties, but o' t' highest quality. 

Construction:  All o' t' parts were in t' kit. Avast, me proud beauty! They were made from quality raw materials and fit well. Begad! Very little sandin' be required. Avast! T' kit went together fast, ya bilge rat, without a hitch or problem and only took about 4 t' 6 hours (who knows when you spend a couple o' minutes every day or every other day over a 6-week period). Well, blow me down! T' instructions were simple and complete, me bucko, leavin' no uncertainties about t' construction. T' nose cone cleaned up easily and t' fins (sandin' t' leadin' and trailin' edge) were a snap. T' finished product is very impressive and flies great. Avast, me proud beauty! Arrr! I will buy more Thoy kits in t' future.

Finishing:  T' kit came without decals, so it's up t' your imagination and skill t' finish it. Arrr! Avast, me proud beauty! T' only problem I had was due t' t' length o' t' rocket. Walkin' through t' house with a 5-foot-tall rocket is nay natural and I banged it on t' door jam and ceilin' more than once. 

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight: T' Condor flies great. Ya scallywag! So far, ya bilge rat, I've only used F20-4W motors, me bucko, but they make for a spectacular flight. Well, blow me down! Nay too high and a majestic lift off. Aye aye! It's easy t' prepare and you can friction fit t' motor or build a motor retention system into t' back end, although t' rocket diameter makes that a bit tricky for Kaplow clips. T' bulk o' t' waddin' has a tendency t' remain in t' rocket and if you don't pay attention, me hearties, matey, you'll get quite a buildup.

Recovery:  Standard recovery system, although you attach t' shock cord t' a metal wire which is attached t' t' upper motor mount centerin' ring. It works fine!

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

Summary:  Hey, me hearties, this rocket is a fairly simple build, me hearties, looks good, matey, flies great on F's (or better) and is impressive just leanin' against t' table. Begad! A real "looker". Blimey! Avast, me bucko, me proud beauty! Buy it! You won't be disappointed. Begad! Ahoy! It's inexpensive too!

Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
