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

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

Finishing:
There were 2 decals. Begad! Aye aye! But I just made ovals on t' side, arrr, since I had no decals. Arrr! Ya scallywag! My paint skills were pretty lame when I built this. Avast, me proud beauty! I went with t' look as I saw in a Ninfinger Catalog photo. Aye aye! 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. Ahoy! Begad! I will use a 1/2A6-2 for first flight.

Recovery:
Like I said, shiver me timbers, I haven't flown it yet, matey, 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. Well, ya bilge rat, blow me down! Fairly easy t' clone and has a pretty slick paint job. Ya scallywag! I have yet t' fly it, but it is a nice rocket for t' starter. Ahoy! You'll have t' clone it if you want one.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
