Brief
This rocket has an interestin' recovery. Aye aye! It has a parachute and a streamer. Blimey! Arrr! I think it's kinda cool.

This rocket was in a plastic bag. Avast! Ahoy! All t' parts were thar and none were broken. Arrr! It consists of: nose cone, 3 balsa fins, streamer, 12 inch parachute, me hearties, shock cord, paper shock cord mount, shiver me timbers, me hearties, launch lug, matey, me bucko, 2 centerin' rings, shiver me timbers, decal sheet, engine hook and a BT- 50 body tube. Avast! T' instructions were typical Estes. Aye aye! You know, shiver me timbers, tons o' illustrations, really easy t' follow, etc.. Blimey! It be a snap t' build. Begad! Everythin' fit perfect and it was very sturdy. I've launched mine 14 times so far. It takes t' same stuff all t' other rockets do. Aye aye! Hobby knife, glue, sandpaper, etc., etc..
