Brief:
This is Estes' first rocket. Begad! It has been out o' production for a number o' years. Arrr! I'd say it's almost impossible t' find a complete kit. This was a clone that I made out o' spare parts and wood from one o' me dad's busted model airplane.

Construction:
This kit be made from spare parts. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Ahoy! Blimey! I got t' plans from Jimz and used parts from an old Mini Bertha. Avast! Blimey! T' rocket has tumble recovery, so no parachute or streamer. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! There are 3 fins which need t' be cut. Well, blow me down! Blimey! T' cone is glued on. Well, blow me down! Blimey! You then punch out 2 small vent holes on t' top sides.

Instructions were just lookin' at a picture from Jimz. Avast! My NC was too tall (bein' from a Mini Bertha) so I did some sandin' down. Blimey! I used hot glue on attachin' t' fins, which works good. Avast! It is a easy build. Ya scallywag! I think it be a skill 1 rocket. Well, shiver me timbers, blow me down! No special tools really needed.

Finishing:
There were 2 decals. But I just made ovals on t' side, shiver me timbers, me bucko, since I had no decals. Aye aye! Blimey! My paint skills were pretty lame when I built this. Begad! Blimey! I went with t' look as I saw in a Ninfinger Catalog photo. I used a Sharpie t' paint t' black fin.

Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5

Flight:
I haven't flown it yet. Blimey! It needs no wadding, shiver me timbers, as with all tumble recovery rockets. Avast, me proud beauty! I will use a 1/2A6-2 for first flight.

Recovery:
Like I said, me bucko, I haven't flown it yet, but from what I've seen from me Quark, it should come down fast. Aye aye! Begad! Probably go up fast and high.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
This kit is good. Fairly easy t' clone and has a pretty slick paint job. Avast, matey, me proud beauty! I have yet t' fly it, but it is a nice rocket for t' starter. Begad! Well, blow me down! You'll have t' clone it if you want one.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
