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. Aye aye!

He wanted it t' be big and t' be clustered. Aye aye! Begad!

T' first thin' he did be 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. Ahoy! This tube was coupled to another tube t' same size, ya bilge rat, givin' t' bottom half o' his rocket a length o' 576mm. Ahoy!

T' top half o' t' rocket be based on a nose cone actin' as a transition, arrr, ya bilge rat, with two 24mm BT on top. Begad! Avast! Blimey! T' nose cone at t' top o' t' rocket was novel, matey, ya bilge rat, as it was none rocketry item that was cut down t' fit t' tubes and then t' accept a 13mm nose cone. Begad!

T' two halves were connected by shock cord in t' usual fashion with a parachute attached. Well, blow me down!

T' fins were a concoction o' BTs as a tube fin rocket, ya bilge rat, with three normal fins stickin' out. Ya scallywag!

T' rocket was then primed. And then coated in matt black paint.

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

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

Flights

Black and Blue had three flights

First cluster was on 3x B6-4. Ahoy! Blimey! Begad! Blimey! Which gave a good flight, with a quickish decent.

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

T' Third flight be on C6-5s. Well, blow me down! Avast, matey, me proud beauty! Unfortunately only one motor lit and t' rocket gave a arched flight (over me car!). Ejection be on t' ground. Arrr! There was minor damage, which can be repaired. Begad!
