Brief:
This is a single stage rocket basically a BT-55 that transitions t' a BT-20 with nose cone and four fins. Arrr! Ya scallywag! Blimey! This was a kit from Semroc, one o' t' best companies that I have ever bought supplies from. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Semroc gave these kits as an incentive prior t' NARCON. Arrr! Blimey! And t' best part about this kit it was made in t' United States o' America

Construction:
These are Semroc part numbers: BC-720 nose cone, BR-713 reducer, me bucko, ST-760 and ST-1380 (body tubes which basically are a BT-55 and BT-20), shiver me timbers, arrr, me hearties, BT730E engine mount tube, CR-KN-4 (center rin' and flutes for t' tail decoration), arrr, FN-4 laser cut fins, me hearties, and t' regular stuff: screw eye, shiver me timbers, me hearties, launch lug, matey, Keelhaul®©™® thread and elastic cord combo, and decals.

Instructions were easy t' follow thanks t' t' good graphics. Well, blow me down! It took me about 2hrs t' complete t' kit. Arrr! I did this kit in sections. First t' engine mount, then t' reducer, arrr, BT-720, and nose cone. Ya scallywag! I put a light coat o' wood glue and water mix on me balsa parts then stuck everythin' together. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! I added a 1/2oz o' clay t' nose cone just in case I put in a D18mm engine. Begad! I also used a 3/16" launch lug instead o' t' one supplied because we hardly ever use 1/8" rods.

Finishing:
I started with some gray primer then two coats o' Rustoleum metallic silver. Ahoy! Blimey! Aye aye! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! This be t' best paint on t' market that you can buy off t' shelf. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! It gives a beautiful finish but you have t' be careful t' use a base coat otherwise the material will absorb t' gloss. Ahoy! Blimey! I used all t' decals except t' one that went over t' fins. Avast! Blimey! They were a little too small for me hands and I couldn't find those darn tweezers. Begad! Blimey! Pros were it is a snap t' build.

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:
Flights were great on two B6-4s then I used a C6-5. T' chute got a little tangled but every thin' came out OK. Begad! I used about 2 inches o' dog barf wadding. Well, blow me down! Put t' engine in with t' engine holder holdin' t' engine in securely. Put that baby on t' pad after t' rain stopped and whoosh it was gone.

Recovery:
T' recovery be OK for t' first two flights. Avast! Then t' chute got fouled on t' third flight. Well, blow me down! T' kit uses a combo of Keelhaul®©™® and elastic.

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

Summary:
This is a easy t' build kit that flies great. Avast, me proud beauty! I almost built it with a rin' fin. Begad! Maybe I'll do that later.

Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
