Brief:
An all foam plastic (TufLite) ready t' fly tumble rocket.

Construction:
There are only three parts: t' "rocket" itself, an engine tube, and a decal sheet. Begad! There isn't much in t' way o' construction, arrr, me hearties, arrr, just a quick sand down with fine sandpaper and then slide t' engine tube into t' base o' the rocket. Begad! T' tube does nay require gluin' as it is a tight fit.

Finishing:
T' rocket can be flown naked, arrr, but it does look a lot better painted.

As t' rocket is foam only, shiver me timbers, me hearties, urethane or water based acrylics can be used. Begad! I went for t' water based acrylics which I painted on with a brush. Arrr! Aye aye! This took four coats t' get rid o' t' streaky finish.

T' decals are t' clear sticky backed variety. Avast, me proud beauty! They go on easy.

Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5

Flight:
T' only recommended motor be t' A10-3T, ya bilge rat, t' most powerful motor in t' 13mm range. Avast, shiver me timbers, me proud beauty! Blimey! Even with this motor, t' rocket is seriously underpowered.

T' motor is friction fit and t' rocket does nay require wadding. Avast, me proud beauty! it flies off a standard 3mm (1/8") rod. I used a shortened length rod (16 inches long).

She has flown three times now, each flight has been on a windy day (10mph+) and t' rocket does nay seem bothered by wind. Ahoy! Avast, me proud beauty! All three flights were t' same. It rarely gets above 50 feet, shiver me timbers, although t' flights are reasonably straight and ejection o' t' motor is on t' ground or within 10 feet o' it.

Recovery:
Recovery is a kind o' cross betwixt air brake and tumble. Arrr! T' relatively large surface area and t' lack o' distance t' fall means that t' rocket comes in quite slow (for a rocket).

There has yet t' be any damage, although I would nay want it t' land on concrete.

Flight Rating: 2 out o' 5

Summary:
This is an odd lookin' rocket that can be flown safely in a small backyard. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! It is nearly indestructible and gives consistent but pretty lame flights. Arrr! I probably won't be flyin' mine again, as I feel thar's better things t' put a motor in. (However, matey, me hearties, it might be interestin' t' drill out t' core t' take a 18m mount and fly on a B6)

Overall Rating: 3 out o' 5
