Brief:
T' first commercially available ready t' fly (RTF) 29mm spool rocket.

Construction:
It's RTF, ya bilge rat, so thar really are nay any parts. I mean really ready t' fly. Well, blow me down! Begad! Blimey! Just stick in a motor, me hearties, ya bilge rat, shiver me timbers, stuff in some waddin' and parachute, and fly.

It's well made. Aye aye! I mean how do you mess up a wire spool and some decals? There is an integral 29mm motor mount with a sprin' clip style motor retention. A basic LOC nylon parachute is attached t' t' other end. Ya scallywag! T' instructions state that t' system is designed around t' AT RMS and t' 29-40/120 is a perfect fit. T' Cool Spool ships with a spacer for use with shorter motors. There is also a large cardboard rin' that will serve as a stand.

One thin' I found mildly frustratin' was t' with t' built in motor retention.

Finishing:
Unless you count takin' it out o' t' bag as "finishing", thar ain't much t' talk about here...

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
This was one o' t' first public launches o' t' Cool Spool. Begad! I did nay have one of t' AT reloads available so I chose a Roadrunner F60-4. Begad! I expect because of the very draggy design and t' fact that thar be a parachute, usin' the shortest delay possible is advisable.

Launch off t' pad was quick and as would be expected for a spool. Begad! Well, blow me down! I mean it's about as aerodynamic as a brick. Aye aye! I figure t' flight be about 250 t' 300 feet. Ahoy! Avast, me proud beauty! As soon as t' thrust stopped, ya bilge rat, it arced over and t' parachute deployed.

Recovery:
T' retention system was somewhat incompatible with t' built in thrust ring provided by Roadrunner. A few moments with a Dremel on t' thrust rin' and I was all set. Well, me hearties, blow me down! I dropped a bit o' dog barf above t' motor and more or less stuffed t' parachute into t' end. Avast, me proud beauty! Begad!

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
It's an RTF spool rocket. Aye aye! While t' challenge here is zero, ya bilge rat, it's just a spot of fun. Avast! Ya scallywag! Blimey! If you like oddrocs and want somethin' t' amuse t' other fliers, shiver me timbers, this would be a great add t' your fleet.
