I'm (Matt Gillard) writin' this review for me brother (Paul Morris) as he has recently suffer a stroke, and is findin' writin' difficult.

Paul is new t' rocketry and this was his first scratch rocket.

He wanted it t' be big and t' be clustered.

T' first thin' he did was t' work out what sort o' fit he could get with his tubes etc.

In t' end he went for a triple cluster 18mm mounts in t' base o' a 40mm diameter BT. Well, blow me down! This tube was coupled to another tube t' same size, me bucko, shiver me timbers, givin' t' bottom half o' his rocket a length o' 576mm. Arrr!

T' top half o' t' rocket was based on a nose cone actin' as a transition, with two 24mm BT on top. Aye aye! Avast, me proud beauty! T' nose cone at t' top o' t' rocket was novel, me bucko, as it was none rocketry item that was cut down t' fit t' tubes and then t' accept a 13mm nose cone.

T' two halves were connected by shock cord in t' usual fashion with a parachute attached. Ahoy! Aye aye!

T' fins were a concoction o' BTs as a tube fin rocket, with three normal fins stickin' out. Avast, me proud beauty! Avast!

T' rocket be then primed. Avast, me proud beauty! Arrr! And then coated in matt black paint. Ahoy!

Decoration was in t' form o' a blue metallic A4 sticker sheet that came in t' parts. Ahoy! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey!

This was cut into stripes and then added along t' BT.

Flights

Black and Blue had three flights

First cluster be on 3x B6-4. Which gave a good flight, with a quickish decent. Aye aye! Aye aye!

Second cluster was with t' same motors and another good flight be had.

T' Third flight was on C6-5s. Unfortunately only one motor lit and t' rocket gave a arched flight (over me car!). Ejection was on t' ground. Ahoy! There be minor damage, ya bilge rat, which can be repaired.
