Brief:
T' Stovi is a unique 6-fin HP rocket with parachute recovery.

Construction:
T' Stovi comes with seven (7) 24mm tubes and one (1) 29mm tube. Begad! Avast! It can be construted with either a 24mm or 29mm motor mount. Begad! All o' t' components were high quality that is typical with LOC products. Avast! It comes with a 3.1" Diameter airframe and a reducer t' 2.26".

T' kit was easy t' assemble with t' instructions provided. Ya scallywag! I'll admit that I had t' think about t' method o' assembly t' incorporate t' 29mm central motor tube. Well, blow me down! It is necessary t' remove a 'sliver' from each o' t' outboard 24mm tubes so that they all fit into t' 3.1" diameter airframe. Avast, me proud beauty! This means that you cannot cluster anythin' in t' outboard tubes. It is absolutely unnecessary t' utilize t' outboard tubes with t' H-128 loaded anyway. Begad! (believe me). Begad! T' fins are 'wedged in t' valley made by t' two adjacent motor tubes. Begad! Begad! I did fold some sandpaper and slide it betwixt t' tubes so that I could sand t' correct bevel on each side o' t' fins.

Motor retention.... Ya scallywag! How t' do it? I cut 2 circular pieces t' insert into t' ends o' two o' t' outboard 24mm tubes. I sanded t' section out where t' interference o' t' 29mm tubes exists. Ahoy! I couple o' blind t-nuts and some epoxy later, shiver me timbers, I had positive motor retention.

Finishing:
There were no decals with t' rocket kit. Well, blow me down! Blimey! That is just fine by me, I like creatin' somethin' unique anyway. Ya scallywag! Blimey! T' color scheme that I came up with was a combination effort betwixt me son, Alex, shiver me timbers, arrr, and me. Avast! Blimey! I painted t' outboard tubes alternately bule and yellow. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Aye aye! Blimey! T' rest o' t' airframe is also blue and yellow with thin yellow or blue monokote strips applied. Begad! Blimey! I cut t' letterin' out o' monokote t' put t' finishin' touch on it.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
I don't really remember what t' recommended motors are or if they still exist. It doesn't mater anyway because it's tough enough t' handle an H. Aye aye! I have one launch picture that must have been an F because it be really underpowered. Begad! Avast, ya bilge rat, me proud beauty! At least I got t' rocket IN that picture!

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

This a great rocket. Arrr! It looks and flies great.
