Brief:
This is one o' t' first kits from Cygnus Rocketry. T' components are all top notch and assembly is a breeze. Begad! Blimey! 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. Arrr! Avast! T' transition and nose cone are so smooth and easy t' fill. Begad! T' motor mount is same as any other. Avast, me bucko, me proud beauty! T' launch lug is nested in t' fillet of one o' t' fins. You glue t' BT-20 t' t' top o' t' transition and then if you want, me bucko, 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. Begad! Avast, me proud beauty! I really suggest them t' anyone lookin' for some fun kits. Well, blow me down!
Finishing:
Finishin' is pretty straightforward. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! There is one supplied decal and that is it. Ya scallywag! Ya scallywag! I put down 3 coats o' primer, shiver me timbers, 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. Arrr! It came out great. Avast! Finally came t' green Blazer decal. Begad! Unfortunately I tore part o' t' decal when applyin' it.
Some how it looks better that way. Begad! Avast, me proud beauty!

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