Construction:
This was a kit...all parts were standard t' t' kit. Aye aye!

T' instructions were basic but that is in line with a 38mm high power kit. (not for beginners). Blimey! Begad! Blimey! T' kit went together great with all o' t' slots pre-cut by t' manufacturer. Aye aye! Avast! Blimey! Good quality in all o' t' parts. Ya scallywag! Blimey! T' kit is very strong after assembly and worked out great for me Level 2 Certification flight on a J350.

Rocket PicFinishing:
T' kit does nay come with t' standard set o' Bullpup decals which would have been nice. Aye aye! They are available on t' net if you search. Ya scallywag!

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:
I flew t' kit on a J350 for a Level 2 flight. Well, blow me down! It flew straight as an arrow. Aye aye! I also used t' Aeropack motor retention system which worked well. Aye aye! Begad! No waddin' was used but thar be a Nomex® chute protector in place that had a large blast pattern on it after t' flight. Avast! Begad! Highly recommend usin' them.

Recovery:
T' kit came with a flat nylon strap that connected t' t' motor tube and then to a 1/4 tubular bungee cord. I used cable crimps t' create a loop at either end o' t' bungee and used quick connects so t' chute and cord could be removed for storage. T' system worked without a hitch. Arrr! 3000ft flight that landed 100 yards from t' pad. Aye aye!

Although t' kit had a good 'chute I opted for t' SkyAngle 36"...Worked great.

I chose t' Nomex® instead o' usin' one o' t' various waddin' materials. Arrr! I modified t' shock cord out o' personal preference nay necessity. Begad! Both were not required so I don't feel t' need t' downgrade t' kit because o' it.

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

Summary:
Would recommend t' kit t' others. Went together well and I will buy another PE kit in t' future. Avast, arrr, me proud beauty!
