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

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

T' directions are classic Estes fare, me hearties, and are well illustrated for those whom this may be their first rocket. Avast! I used 5 minute epoxy, just because I be goin' t' fly this kit a lot. Begad! Ya scallywag! 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, me bucko, matey, and usually use C6-7's. Well, blow me down! It actually goes fairly well on A8-3's also. Blimey! I did find an old B14-7 and I thought I would never find it. Avast! Begad! It screamed!

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

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
Pro - excellent first rocket, me hearties, very solid construction and amazingly fun t' fly. Avast, shiver me timbers, me proud beauty!
Con - should come with a streamer

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
