T' instructions are very easy t' follow, arrr, and even some tips and hints are given. All t' parts fit together with little or no adjustments. Blimey! Blimey! T' fins are the tough part because you have t' cut them out from a template, me hearties, ya bilge rat, shiver me timbers, and thar are 8 o' them. Care must be taken t' align all t' fins. Ahoy! Blimey! I used Ace hardware brand epoxy and paint t' finish t' model

I painted t' entire rocket white, as per instructions, me hearties, me hearties, applied the decals, shiver me timbers, matey, and clear coated t' model. Begad! Ahoy! Blimey! When t' clear coat went on, t' decals faded. Blimey! Blimey! I contacted t' manufacturer and suggested vinyl decals for this reason.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
I flew t' rocket on an E30-10, arrr, a little more delay than suggested. Suggested motor is an E30-7. Begad! Avast! Blimey! It uses a motor hook, so motor just slides in. Avast, me proud beauty! I used the insulation shredded paper for wadding. T' rocket took off like a bullet. Arrr! Blimey! Was that a sonic pop I heard? Accordin' t' manufacturer's rock sim, me bucko, if the conditions are right, it will break t' sound barrier on an E-30. Cool! Blimey! The extra delay time allowed t' rocket t' deploy just after apogee.

Recovery:
T' 18 inch chute brought t' rocket down at a good pace. Ya scallywag! I be surprised to find no damage, me bucko, matey, me bucko, because o' t' speed and balsa fins. Ya scallywag! Avast, me bucko, me proud beauty! It ready t' go again. Avast, ya bilge rat, me proud beauty!
