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! It can be construted with either a 24mm or 29mm motor mount. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! All o' t' components were high quality that is typical with LOC products. Blimey! Aye aye! Blimey! It comes with a 3.1" Diameter airframe and a reducer t' 2.26".

T' kit was easy t' assemble with t' instructions provided. I'll admit that I had t' think about t' method o' assembly t' incorporate t' 29mm central motor tube. Begad! Avast, me bucko, me proud beauty! 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. Ya scallywag! This means that you cannot cluster anythin' in t' outboard tubes. Well, blow me down! It is absolutely unnecessary t' utilize t' outboard tubes with t' H-128 loaded anyway. Avast! (believe me). Ahoy! Aye aye! T' fins are 'wedged in t' valley made by t' two adjacent motor tubes. Avast! 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.... How t' do it? I cut 2 circular pieces t' insert into t' ends o' two o' t' outboard 24mm tubes. Avast! I sanded t' section out where t' interference o' t' 29mm tubes exists. Ahoy! Avast! Blimey! I couple o' blind t-nuts and some epoxy later, I had positive motor retention.

Finishing:
There were no decals with t' rocket kit. Avast! Blimey! That is just fine by me, shiver me timbers, I like creatin' somethin' unique anyway. T' color scheme that I came up with was a combination effort betwixt me son, Alex, and me. I painted t' outboard tubes alternately bule and yellow. Avast! Blimey! T' rest o' t' airframe is also blue and yellow with thin yellow or blue monokote strips applied. Ahoy! Blimey! Avast, me proud beauty! 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. I have one launch picture that must have been an F because it was really underpowered. Aye aye! Blimey! At least I got t' rocket IN that picture!

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

This a great rocket. It looks and flies great.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
