Brief:
This is a huge rocket, shiver me timbers, over 7 feet tall that thumps t' cloud cover with a hefty trio o' D's. Ya scallywag! Ya scallywag! T' Richter Recker be t' top o' t' line rocket from the new company FlisKits at $28.95. Begad! Arrr! It's huge, ya bilge rat, good quality and is very impressive looking. I ordered mine right after FlisKits opened, and me Richter Recker is hand numbered #05. Begad! I think t' hand numberin' (with a black sharpie) is a great touch o' class. Ya scallywag! Aye aye!

Construction:
This big huge 7+ foot tall cluster rocket kit came t' me (ordered direct from the company) in a very large bag and header (Estes) type package. Aye aye! Full color insert and t' packagin' looks better than Estes. Avast! Aye aye! Here is what it includes :

• NCB-70AJ Balsa Nose Cone 4.25"
• NBB-70-4 Balsa Nose Block
• (5) BT-70-1750 Body Tubes 17.5"
• BT-69-04 Body Tube 4.0"
• (3) BT-50-04 Engine Tube 4.0
• (3) CPL-70-4 Stage Coupler 4.0"

• DCS-SP003 Peel & Stick Decal sheet
• FPS-SP003 Fin Pattern sheet
• INS-SP003 Assembly Instructions
• HNT-SL3CL Hints, me hearties, Clusters, SL3 instructional information

Buildin' this kit was very fun and interesting. Aye aye! T' instructions included are excellent and this kit allows one t' put up a cool lookin' rocket over 7 feet tall, shiver me timbers, on a 24mm cluster o' (3). Well, blow me down! It's easy t' build, under $30 and looks excellent with a unique (4) fin design with two shapes. Arrr!

Finishing:
Two things disturbed me a little when buildin' this. Avast! Aye aye! One thin' bein' t' seal method o' ejection pressure, and t' other bein' t' recovery system. The instructions call for fillin' t' void areas o' t' (3) engine cluster area with tissue and white glue. This works and I have done it with mine. But I think it would be better if t' kit would provide a small piece o' thin and stiff cardboard with a template or ideally die cut pieces t' fit in. I really enjoyed buildin' t' kit and must give it a 4 out o' 5 here. Begad!

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
I have nay flown this rocket yet. I will provide flight logs. Ya scallywag! It is expected to go up on Dec 7th in Houston. Avast, me proud beauty!

Recovery:
I modified t' recovery system by puttin' a double Keelhaul®©™® cord around t' engine mount, matey, and I added snap swivels, over 30 feet o' 1/2 elastic and two nylon chutes. Ahoy!

Summary:
This is a very cool lookin' rocket for a great price. Over 7 feet tall, me hearties, Will launch on a cluster o' D's and is simple t' build. Ya scallywag! Arrr! I did nay care for the recovery that came with it. Begad! Avast, me proud beauty! Mine had enough o' some type o' clear plastic to make a few chutes, arrr, but nay only do I nay want t' use clear material (cause you can't see it well), shiver me timbers, but I just don't care t' build chutes. Begad! There are enough good chutes out thar and it's nay a wonder that this kit does nay come with nylon chutes at t' low price. T' builder should pick his own chutes with this one. Arrr! Avast! And it is a KILLER kit!
