Brief:
A skill level 2 rocket, Comes in typical plastic bag, me hearties, with a 12" plastic parachute
Construction:
T' instructions where very easy t' follow, t' hard part seemed t' be t' fins they are 2 piece fins that have t' be glued together, and t' little pieces o' balsa that go around t' main body tube near t' top seemed t' be a bit hard t' get lined up right and glued without them moving
Finishing:
We decided t' paint it green, with Krylon paint than added supplied decals
Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5
Flight:
First flight was off a B6-4 nice flight but t' thin 'chute strings got tangled. Begad! Second flight with a C6-3 'chute came out nice but pulled those nice little disks o' off t' one side. Aye aye! Third flight be with a C6-5 flight was good however nose cone came off and drifted away.
Recovery:
T' standard shock chord should be replaced with somethin' a bit longer, matey, me hearties, I have since been goin' with twice t' body length o' t' rocket. Well, blow me down! Replace standard plastic chute with either a streamer or a small nylon 'chute.
