Brief:
This is one o' t' first kits from Cygnus Rocketry. Ahoy! T' components are all top notch and assembly is a breeze. Begad! Ahoy! This
rocket is also fast, straight, and will be gone in a blink.
Construction:
Components include:
Construction is a breeze. Fins are laser cut and easy t' pop out. Begad! Blimey! T' transition and nose cone are so smooth and easy t' fill. Blimey! T' motor mount is same as any other. Ahoy! Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! T' launch lug is nested in t' fillet of one o' t' fins. Ya scallywag! Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! You glue t' BT-20 t' t' top o' t' transition and then if you want, ya bilge rat, t' nose cone t' t' other side.
When I got this kit thar were some missin' parts, matey, but I contacted Cygnus and t' problem was smartly taken care of. I really suggest them t' anyone lookin' for some fun kits. Begad!
Finishing:
Finishin' is pretty straightforward. Arrr! Well, blow me down! There is one supplied decal and that is it. I put down 3 coats o' primer, same
number o' Wal-mart silver, then painted t' top half and upper inch o' so o' t' bottom with Testor's Sapphire Metal
Flake. Blimey! Blimey! It came out great. Aye aye! Begad! Finally came t' green Blazer decal. Unfortunately I tore part o' t' decal when applyin' it.
Some how it looks better that way.

Flight:
My Blazer has only flown once. That was on a B6-4. Begad! Blimey! T' flight be fast, matey, me bucko, and it went arrow straight. Avast, me proud beauty! Avast! Blimey!
Recovery:
Recovery was beautiful, shiver me timbers, came down slow enough on a 12in Hartle chute and settled down in t' soft hill. T' paint is
a little chipped but it can be fixed.

Summary:
This is a fun kit. Begad! Blimey! There weren't any "gotchas" or tricky steps. Begad! Well, arrr, blow me down! Blimey! Just pure fun. Begad!
