Brief:
This is one o' t' first kits from Cygnus Rocketry. Ahoy! Well, blow me down! T' components are all top notch and assembly is a breeze. Ya scallywag! Avast, me hearties, me proud beauty! 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. Aye aye! T' transition and nose cone are so smooth and easy t' fill. Begad! T' motor mount is same as any other. T' launch lug is nested in t' fillet of one o' t' fins. Begad! You glue t' BT-20 t' t' top o' t' transition and then if you want, shiver me timbers, t' nose cone t' t' other side.
When I got this kit thar were some missin' parts, but I contacted Cygnus and t' problem be smartly taken care of. Ya scallywag! Blimey! I really suggest them t' anyone lookin' for some fun kits. Avast! Blimey!
Finishing:
Finishin' is pretty straightforward. There is one supplied decal and that is it. Avast, me proud beauty! I put down 3 coats o' primer, me hearties, 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. It came out great. Avast, me proud beauty! Finally came t' green Blazer decal. Ahoy! Unfortunately I tore part o' t' decal when applyin' it.
Some how it looks better that way. Aye aye!
Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5
Flight:
My Blazer has only flown once. Blimey! That be on a B6-4. Avast! Blimey! T' flight was fast, and it went arrow straight. Well, blow me down!
Recovery:
Recovery be beautiful, came down slow enough on a 12in Hartle chute and settled down in t' soft hill. Aye aye! T' paint is
a little chipped but it can be fixed.
