Modifications:
I didn't start this one out intendin' t' do a review on it, me hearties, but after t' smoke
cleared--pardon t' pun--I decided t' do a quick write up on it. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! I bought three
of them from Jim at t' NERRF II launch because I wanted somethin' for me 12
year old daughter and 7 year old niece t' build together. Avast! Avast!
T' build went quickly. Ahoy! Begad! Blimey! They were finished in about 45 minutes. Begad! Begad! Blimey! Dad/Uncle Drake (that's me) wanted t' do somethin' different so I used a 32" tube for t' body rather than t' 16" tube supplied. Ahoy! Blimey! Nay wantin' t' be outdone, the girls insisted on followin' suit. Blimey! Luckily I had enough tubes t' go around.

We launched these several times on several motors rangin' from A8-3s t' C6-5s.

flights.
Summary:
