Brief:
This is another TIGHT repro from Semroc. Avast, me proud beauty! Arrr! 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,
• kevlar shock cord,
• launch lugs,
• engine hook,
• a set o' decals.

T' only con about this Rocket be t' Engine Hook. Arrr! Blimey! T' pro's about this Rocket is everythin' else, especially the decals don't change a thing. Blimey! Blimey! 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. Ahoy! Blimey! I added a 24mm mount and t' 18mm an Estes D engine hook, shiver me timbers, 1/8th inch woven Keelhaul®©™® shockcord, 3/16th inch balsa fins and constructed this Bird completely with Epoxy. I did nay use t' rin' set for the fins or t' set o' bands for t' body tube. One o' me biggest peeves is disruption o' airflow.

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

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

All 3 flights were on a C6-5, for now. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Aye aye! Blimey! I used waddin' until I can figure a somethin' better. Begad! Blimey! I used an Estes D Hook for retention. Blimey! Blimey! All 3 flights were super fast and straight.

There are no cons because I pimped it. Begad! Ahoy! 1/8th inch Keelhaul®©™® shockcord wrapped around t' inside o' t' upper thrust rin' and a 12" thin-mil nylon chute. Arrr! Perfect recovery, no issues at all.
