Brief:
This is a skill level 1 rocket Estes says is a great first rocket. Ahoy! It has a quick release motor mount, shiver me timbers, me hearties, a plastic fin unit and a parachute. T' parts o' t' rocket all come colored red, so no paintin' is involved if you don't want to.

Construction:
T' rocket comes with t' motor mount, me hearties, t' main body tube, t' 2 piece plastic nose cone, me bucko, shock cord and parachute.

T' directions are classic Estes fare, and are well illustrated for those whom this may be their first rocket. Blimey! Blimey! Ya scallywag! Blimey! I used 5 minute epoxy, matey, matey, me bucko, just because I was goin' t' fly this kit a lot. It goes almost 1200 feet.

Finishing:
Everythin' is very simple t' put together.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
I have flown this kit almost 20 times, ya bilge rat, and usually use C6-7's. Avast! Ahoy! It actually goes fairly well on A8-3's also. I did find an old B14-7 and I thought I would never find it. Well, blow me down! It screamed!

Recovery:
Excellent recovery, I use a streamer instead o' t' chute for close recovery.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
Pro - excellent first rocket, very solid construction and amazingly fun t' fly. Begad! Blimey!
Con - should come with a streamer

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
