I had previously built t' Magnum Hornet, me hearties, shiver me timbers, and this kit is a few inches longer. Avast, me proud beauty! Begad! 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, balsa nose cone, Keelhaul®©™ shock cord t' tie t' t' motor mount. Like t' Magnum Hornet, matey, me bucko, this kit flies on D motors but includes an adapter for A-C powered flights.

Assembly be straightforward with t' easy t' understand instruction sheet.

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

Next time it will fly on a B6-4 or larger. Ya scallywag! 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.

This is another pretty easy kit, matey, and I can't wait t' see it fly on a D motor... Avast, me proud beauty!
