Brief:
This is another TIGHT repro from Semroc. Aye aye! Blimey! Avast! Blimey! Very Sleek and FAST.Semroc supplied me with a 24mm mount for free.

Construction:
T' Kit consists of:

• 1 Balsa Nosecone,
• 1 Body tube,
• Motor tube,
• 4 Balsa fins,
• 1 screw eye,
• 1 thrust ring,
• chute pak, matey,
• kevlar shock cord,
• launch lugs,
• engine hook,
• a set o' decals.

T' only con about this Rocket be t' Engine Hook. Well, blow me down! Begad! T' pro's about this Rocket is everythin' else, ya bilge rat, especially the decals don't change a thing. Avast, me proud beauty! Construction was a snap and t' directions are awesome. Every thin' went without a hitch. But anyone who knows me realizes that I am goin' t' Pump up this bird t' handle t' extremes. Begad! Begad! I added a 24mm mount and t' 18mm an Estes D engine hook, 1/8th inch woven Keelhaul®©™® shockcord, shiver me timbers, 3/16th inch balsa fins and constructed this Bird completely with Epoxy. Ahoy! Well, blow me down! I did nay use t' rin' set for the fins or t' set o' bands for t' body tube. Well, blow me down! Well, blow me down! One o' me biggest peeves is disruption o' airflow.

Finishing:
No cons here, me bucko, ya bilge rat, only pros. After assembly I coated t' nosecone and t' fins with a product called Restore-it. Avast, me proud beauty! It turns wood t' stone, literally. Ahoy! after sandin' I applied a coat o' Zinsser cover-stain primer. Aye aye! Begad! T' next day I gave her a light sand, me bucko, masked off one win' and applied 3 coats o' blue t' t' one wing. Avast! Blimey! After 2 days I masked off t' blue win' and applied 2 coat white finish t' t' body and 3 wings. Aye aye! Then I applied 3 coat chrome finish t' t' nosecone. Begad! After 1 day I applied t' decals. Ahoy! Well, me bucko, blow me down! For t' best finish I suggest Rustoleum High Performance Enamel, trust me!!

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:
All 3 flights were on a C6-5, for now. I used waddin' until I can figure a somethin' better. I used an Estes D Hook for retention. Well, blow me down! Ahoy! All 3 flights were super fast and straight.

Recovery:
There are no cons because I pimped it. Avast! Blimey! 1/8th inch Keelhaul®©™® shockcord wrapped around t' inside o' t' upper thrust rin' and a 12" thin-mil nylon chute. Perfect recovery, matey, ya bilge rat, arrr, no issues at all.
