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

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

Finishing:
There were 2 decals. Begad! But I just made ovals on t' side, matey, since I had no decals. Avast, me proud beauty! My paint skills were pretty lame when I built this. Ya scallywag! 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. Avast! It needs no wadding, as with all tumble recovery rockets. I will use a 1/2A6-2 for first flight.

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

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

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

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
