Brief
This rocket has an interestin' recovery. Arrr! It has a parachute and a streamer. I think it's kinda cool.

Ahoy! T' instructions were typical Estes. You know, tons o' illustrations, ya bilge rat, shiver me timbers, really easy t' follow, etc.. Aye aye! Well, blow me down! It was a snap t' build. Avast! Arrr! Everythin' fit perfect and it was very sturdy. Begad! Arrr! I've launched mine 14 times so far. It takes t' same stuff all t' other rockets do. Ya scallywag!

Flight
Estes recommends 1/2A6-2, A8-3, me bucko, B4-4, ya bilge rat, B6-4, B6-6, me bucko, C6-5, C6-7. Well, blow me down! Ahoy! I used a B6-4 for a while and it be perfect every time. Begad! I now use C6-7's and it goes out o' sight.

Recovery
With a sheet o' waddin' and an engine it's easy t' prep. Ahoy! A engine hook holds it in so it doesn't eject out t' back or through t' top. Aye aye! It has flown straight up an landed 50 feet from t' pad. No cons. Arrr! Everythin' was a pro. Blimey! Landin' was soft and slow.
