Brief:
This is Estes' first rocket. Arrr! Blimey! It has been out o' production for a number o' years. Blimey! Blimey! I'd say it's almost impossible t' find a complete kit. Aye aye! 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 be made from spare parts. Ya scallywag! Well, blow me down! I got t' plans from Jimz and used parts from an old Mini Bertha. Avast! T' rocket has tumble recovery, ya bilge rat, so no parachute or streamer. Avast, me proud beauty! There are 3 fins which need t' be cut. T' cone is glued on. Arrr! 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! Well, blow me down! My NC be too tall (bein' from a Mini Bertha) so I did some sandin' down. Avast, me proud beauty! Begad! I used hot glue on attachin' t' fins, arrr, which works good. Arrr! It is a easy build. Ya scallywag! Arrr! I think it was a skill 1 rocket. Blimey! No special tools really needed.

Finishing:
There were 2 decals. Ahoy! But I just made ovals on t' side, since I had no decals. My paint skills were pretty lame when I built this. Ahoy! 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. Arrr! Ya scallywag! 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, me bucko, arrr, it should come down fast. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! 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. Arrr! Begad! I have yet t' fly it, ya bilge rat, ya bilge rat, 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
