Brief:
I received t' Estes X-Flyers as a gift from our neighbor Zachary. T' kit is one o' Estes Ready-Built series and includes two rockets, me hearties, ya bilge rat, one yellow and blue, and one black and purple. Begad! This kit was packaged in plastic and came in a box and cost $14.99. Ya scallywag! A pretty good deal for two rockets.

Construction:
No construction on a Ready Built just attach t' chute and jam in an engine.

Finishing:
T' X-Flyers are cool looking, nice colors and very sleek and futuristic looking. Well, blow me down! T' only issue I have with t' rockets be t' body tubes are a tight fit for parachutes. Ahoy! Aye aye! These rockets are light and may have been better with streamers.

Construction Rating: 4

Flight:
Both rockets received Estes A8-3 engines. Begad! They were out o' site because o' t' sleek style, arrr, arrr, manufactured finish and light weight. Avast, me proud beauty! Both rockets performed very well.

Recovery:
T' second flight o' t' purple and black X-Flyer came down fast on a tangled chute. Arrr! Both were recovered no damage. If you use a B or C engine have lots o' spotters and big field.

Flight Rating: 4

Summary:
Overall t' X-Flyers receive a solid four. Begad! Avast! Two rockets for t' price o' one, ya bilge rat, you can get out and launch immediately and they rock on an A8-3. Avast! Cons are they may drift far on a chute (especially if you use a C engine) and secondly t' narrow body tubes.

Overall Rating: 4
