Brief:
A flyin' replica o' t' Star Wars R2D2.

Construction:
T' instructions were easy t' follow, and t' order o' assembly seemed logical. Begad! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! T' kit components were all thar and fit well, ya bilge rat, shiver me timbers, matey, except for t' body wrap decal, matey, matey, which be a bit too short, leavin' a 1/8" gap. Begad! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! Regular wood glue and styrene cement were all that was needed.

Finishing:
T' decal for t' body tube fit poorly, requirin' additional painting. T' little blue "eye" kept fallin' off as well, until Super Glue finally held it in place. Begad! Blimey! Overall, t' rocket looked good, shiver me timbers, ya bilge rat, though details were a bit off. Blimey! Ya scallywag! Definitely a skill level 3 t' finish correctly.

Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5

Flight:
Recommended motor: C6-3. I used a C6-3 and normal recovery wadding. Arrr! It was difficult installin' t' motor into t' rocket due t' t' plastic tail housing, me bucko, and even more difficult t' remove. Well, blow me down! Avast! Flight be pathetic, ya bilge rat, about a 1. Though it flew straight, me hearties, it barely went over 30 feet, me hearties, arrr, and t' parachute deployed just before impact, me hearties, shearin' off a leg. Avast! Arrr! T' rocket be retired immediately. Ahoy! I had thought o' installin' an Aerotech D21-7W, ya bilge rat, but decided it would probably be best t' never fly it again.

Recovery:
T' shock cord mounted t' t' upper centerin' ring, and t' parachute attached near thar also. A leg sheared off upon landing, ya bilge rat, though it was a simple fix. Avast, me proud beauty! This rocket begs for D power!

Flight Rating: 1 out o' 5

Summary:
Estes should have spent more time in development. Arrr! Its components were well built but heavy, requirin' much more power. Increased altitude would allow `chute deployment, me bucko, ya bilge rat, which didn't fully open.

Overall Rating: 2 out o' 5
