Brief:
This is a simple, matey, high-performance OOP rocket from t' Estes catalog o' '91 and '92. Arrr! Avast!

Construction:
It includes an engine block, me hearties, paper shock cord mount, launch lug, lug offset, shock cord, streamer, ya bilge rat, screw eye, balsa nose cone, matey, BT-5, me hearties, and 3 die-cut fins.

T' build is easy and instructions are excellent.

I sanded t' fins t' an airfoil shape, ya bilge rat, filled t' tube spirals, and painted it with a sky blue metal flake paint for an eye candy look t' try t' improve on the spermatozoa look. Begad! Begad! T' kit does nay come with decals but does include a foil wrap that doesn't fit.

Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5

Flight:
PROs: Flown on 1/4A3-3T, matey, 1/2A-2T, me hearties, A10-3T, matey, and A3-4T. Blimey! It flies great. Aye aye! Blimey! You would think t' bulbous nose cone would slow it down, me bucko, me bucko, but it doesn't. Aye aye! It is fast, straight, and high. Begad! Blimey! CONs: You have t' be careful nay t' knock t' nose cone off when you're puttin' it on t' launch rod.

Recovery:
PROs: It always comes streamin' back. Well, blow me down! CONs: It always comes back.

Flight Rating: 3 out o' 5

Summary:
Do you have a rocket in your box that's impossible t' kill? Here's mine. I've launched this one probably 20 times with no damage, nay even a broken fin. (I have replaced t' shock cord a couple o' times o' course.) It is usually used for wind testin' t' find out if it's possible t' launch a real rocket. Ahoy! I built this as an example at a build session. Begad! We got a closeout package deal o' a large lot for cheap. Aye aye! This gets me nomination for t' ugliest Estes rocket of all time.

Overall Rating: 3 out o' 5
