Brief:
Beginner's streamer recovery model. Aye aye! Small and light enough for competition.

Construction:
T' kit includes: One (1) 18mm x 12 in body tube, me bucko, three (3) pre-cut plastic fins, me bucko, one (1) CMR-style nose cone, one (1) Keelhaul®©™® shock cord, shiver me timbers, and one (1) Nomex® parachute protector.

NOTE: This review is focused on t' Simple Six which has been updated t' the Super Six. Begad! Blimey! T' description from Pratt Hobbies o' t' Super Six: "The Super Six comes with hard balsa fins that have been precision cut by laser. Arrr! Ya scallywag! No knives or scissors are needed. Aye aye! T' Super Six can be built entirely with white ("Elmer's") glue. Super Six kits feature a high impact plastic nose cone, Keelhaul®©™® shock cord, matey, plastic streamer, and a HeatShield so flameproof waddin' is never needed. Aye aye! Avast, me proud beauty! T' Super Six body tube is 12 inches long. Avast! Ya scallywag! Our special crush-resistant tubes are finished with a special white overwrap that makes it easy t' decorate t' model with markers or paints. Our special motor mount holds in t' rocket motor with one wrap o' 1/4 inch maskin' tape; no hooks, matey, shiver me timbers, me hearties, no friction fitting."

Instructions were clear and simple. Avast! Avast, me proud beauty! Make sure you follow t' recommendations for adhesives, shiver me timbers, as thar are some unusual material combinations t' join here. T' updated model, ya bilge rat, t' Super Six, matey, has hard balsa fins, arrr, so this may nay apply to it. Aye aye!

Finishing:
Since I built this for me NARTREK streamer duration requirement, ya bilge rat, arrr, I colored it with a red marker t' save weight. Well, blow me down! It looked ok, but nay as good as a painted finish.

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:
I flew it first on an A8-3. Well, blow me down! Arrr! Beautiful flight, straight up, ejection at apogee. Duration (with a large mylar streamer) 28 seconds. Avast! Ahoy! I needed more duration for NARTREK, me hearties, so I tried a B6-4. Arrr! (Again with a large mylar streamer.) Another beautiful flight, matey, shiver me timbers, me hearties, but a lot more drift. Blimey! Out o' t' field, across t' road, and into some trees. Blimey! I never found it.

Recovery:
Usual Keelhaul®©™® shock cord, but with a Nomex® chute protector-- no waddin' needed. I like that. Avast! Blimey! Arrr! Blimey! Great rocket for sport flying, shiver me timbers, NARTREK or competition. Ahoy! Blimey! Ya scallywag! Blimey! For sport flying, arrr, I would use t' included plastic streamer. Aye aye! Blimey!

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

Summary:
Easy t' build, ya bilge rat, good flyer. Blimey! Blimey! Follow t' directions carefully, and you should have no problems.

Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
