Brief
This is an Estes single stage rocket t' be flown on D size engines.

Construction
T' kit came in a hangin' box display and was packaged very well. Well, blow me down! Begad! All t' parts were intact. Arrr! Arrr! I think it was manufactured before they had skill levels on the box. Well, blow me down! Avast, matey, me proud beauty! But I would say probably a skill level 2. T' tube couplers were nay quite long enough t' keep t' body tubes straight. As long as you keep an eye on them while gluin' thar be no problem.

Finishing
T' kit be painted with standard krylon paint. Avast, me proud beauty! Ya scallywag! And t' decals went on very nicely. Ahoy! All in all it is a very good lookin' rocket.

Flight
T' first flight be on a D12-7 and t' delay was t' long. Aye aye! Blimey! Aye aye! Blimey! It opened on t' way down, arrr, and thar was no damage. Avast, shiver me timbers, me proud beauty! Blimey! T' second flight was on an E30-4 and it flies great. Blimey! Blimey! Opened at apogee perfectly. I have had at least 20 flights without a single problem.

I am plannin' on tryin' F24-7 and F39-10 Aerotech reloads. Blimey! Avast, me proud beauty!

Recovery
I did nay use t' supplied shock cord. Ahoy! Begad! I used 1/8" elastic cord about 5' long epoxied a loop t' t' inside o' t' tube. Arrr! I also made me own rip stop nylon chute. 24" with a 2" spill hole. Well, blow me down! It floats down really nice. Arrr! Begad! I have never had any damage on this rocket. Begad!

Summary
Overall I would say that this is a great kit. Blimey! If you can find it, me bucko, it is well worth building. It was kind o' on t' pricy side but for t' number o' flights I have had it is very reasonable. Arrr! T' only thin' I would change is t' have the body couplers a little longer. Avast! Ahoy!

Overall Rating: 4 ½ out o' 5
