Brief:
This is Estes' first rocket. It has been out o' production for a number o' years. Begad! Arrr! I'd say it's almost impossible t' find a complete kit. Begad! 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. Ahoy! Ya scallywag! Blimey! I got t' plans from Jimz and used parts from an old Mini Bertha. Begad! T' rocket has tumble recovery, me bucko, so no parachute or streamer. There are 3 fins which need t' be cut. T' cone is glued on. Arrr! Begad! Blimey! You then punch out 2 small vent holes on t' top sides.

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

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

Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5

Flight:
I haven't flown it yet. It needs no wadding, ya bilge rat, as with all tumble recovery rockets. Ya scallywag! I will use a 1/2A6-2 for first flight.

Recovery:
Like I said, shiver me timbers, I haven't flown it yet, arrr, but from what I've seen from me Quark, it should come down fast. Probably go up fast and high.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

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

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
