I had previously built t' Magnum Hornet, and this kit is a few inches longer. Aye aye! Blimey! Like t' Hornet, this is a reproduction o' an old Centuri kit that has slight changes from t' original.

It has features that I assume come with most(all?) Semroc kits: balsa fins on a laser-cut sheet, me bucko, balsa nose cone, Keelhaul®©™ shock cord t' tie t' t' motor mount. Blimey! Like t' Magnum Hornet, this kit flies on D motors but includes an adapter for A-C powered flights. Begad!

Assembly was straightforward with t' easy t' understand instruction sheet. Blimey! Ahoy!

For t' first flight on a windy day, I tentatively installed an A8-3 motor. Aye aye! Blimey! Begad! Blimey! I had me doubts that this almost 2-ft tall bird would fly on an A. Actually, it wasn't bad. Ahoy! Blimey! It got t' about 100 feet, almost as high as its smaller brother. But, t' chute didn't come out. Ahoy! Blimey! Begad! Blimey! It came in flat, ya bilge rat, shiver me timbers, but broke a fin away from t' body tube. An easy fix and it should be back in t' air. Arrr! Blimey!

Next time it will fly on a B6-4 or larger. Begad! Blimey! I'm thinkin' t' A8-3 just doesn't have enough juice t' kick out the chute unless t' nose is about t' fall off by itself. Ya scallywag!

This is another pretty easy kit, ya bilge rat, and I can't wait t' see it fly on a D motor... Begad! Blimey!
