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

Construction:
It's RTF, matey, matey, shiver me timbers, so thar really are nay any parts. I mean really ready t' fly. Avast, me proud beauty! Just stick in a motor, stuff in some waddin' and parachute, matey, and fly.

It's well made. Blimey! Avast! 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. T' instructions state that t' system is designed around t' AT RMS and t' 29-40/120 is a perfect fit. Ahoy! 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", me hearties, thar ain't much t' talk about here...

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
This be 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. I expect because of the very draggy design and t' fact that thar be a parachute, usin' the shortest delay possible is advisable. Aye aye! Arrr!

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

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. I dropped a bit o' dog barf above t' motor and more or less stuffed t' parachute into t' end. Blimey!

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

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