Brief:
A simple, super stable beginners rocket. Begad! Perfect for use in classes. Aye aye! Begad!

Construction:
In t' kit thar is:

• 1 BT-60 tube
• 1 Balsa NC
• 2 Fin Stock Sheets
• 1 Engine mount kit (motor tube, hook, me hearties, rings, ya bilge rat, me hearties, etc.)
• 1 Adaptable Size Chute
• A set o' miscellaneous items (shockcord, me hearties, shroud lines, me hearties, tape disks, arrr, screw eye)

I bought ten o' these kits t' use in a rocket class me bucko Eugene and I taught together. As a beginners kit, me hearties, its large size made it an easy choice by me t' pick t' Rhino. T' instructions were in a easy t' follow order, arrr, very simple and extremely well illustrated. My students seemed t' have no trouble at all, especially because most were buildin' their first rockets!

Finishing:
T' nose cone is balsa, thus it requires filling. I had me students fill their nose cones with thinned Fill n' Finish, and then they sanded them off. Aye aye! Blimey! T' nose cones looked so much better after that. Arrr! Blimey! You also need t' seal t' balsa fins. Ahoy! Blimey! I had t' students fill them with one coat o' sandin' sealer. I filled me fins with thinned FNF.

There are decals, ya bilge rat, all large and VERY colorful. Ya scallywag! None o' me students, me hearties, me bucko, nor Eugene or I, chose t' use t' decals. They are cut n' peel n' stick.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
T' rocket flies PERFECT. Begad! Plain and simple.

T' rocket flies relatively slow, with maximum altitude on a C6-5 bein' at about 550 feet. Ya scallywag! Actually, a C6-3 sims better than t' -5. Begad!

When me class went out t' fly, shiver me timbers, everyone got two motors. Begad! Most people got C6's, but some were issued B6's. Begad! T' rocket will fly pretty dang good on the B6-4, but it's very slow, yet is PERFECT for a baseball field. Arrr! Ahoy!

On me students second flight, most o' them chose t' drag race. I don't think I've EVER seen that many drag races in just about....forever!

Perfect, ya bilge rat, straight flights every time.

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

Summary:
A very, very good beginners rocket. Avast! Blimey! You are pretty much guaranteed t' stay in sight for every flight, and if you had t' ask me, it is a good choice over the Estes Alpha if you ever teach a rocketry class.

Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
