Brief:
This is a single stage rocket basically a BT-55 that transitions t' a BT-20 with nose cone and four fins. Ya scallywag! Well, blow me down! This was a kit from Semroc, one o' t' best companies that I have ever bought supplies from. Blimey! Begad! Semroc gave these kits as an incentive prior t' NARCON. Arrr! Ya scallywag! 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, shiver me timbers, BR-713 reducer, ya bilge rat, ST-760 and ST-1380 (body tubes which basically are a BT-55 and BT-20), BT730E engine mount tube, CR-KN-4 (center rin' and flutes for t' tail decoration), FN-4 laser cut fins, ya bilge rat, and t' regular stuff: screw eye, me hearties, me hearties, launch lug, me bucko, Keelhaul®©™® thread and elastic cord combo, and decals.

Instructions were easy t' follow thanks t' t' good graphics. It took me about 2hrs t' complete t' kit. Begad! I did this kit in sections. Aye aye! First t' engine mount, then t' reducer, BT-720, me hearties, me hearties, and nose cone. I put a light coat o' wood glue and water mix on me balsa parts then stuck everythin' together. I added a 1/2oz o' clay t' nose cone just in case I put in a D18mm engine. 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. This be t' best paint on t' market that you can buy off t' shelf. Ya scallywag! Ya scallywag! It gives a beautiful finish but you have t' be careful t' use a base coat otherwise the material will absorb t' gloss. Well, blow me down! I used all t' decals except t' one that went over t' fins. Begad! They were a little too small for me hands and I couldn't find those darn tweezers. Ahoy! 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. Well, blow me down! T' chute got a little tangled but every thin' came out OK. Begad! I used about 2 inches o' dog barf wadding. Put t' engine in with t' engine holder holdin' t' engine in securely. Aye aye! Put that baby on t' pad after t' rain stopped and whoosh it was gone.

Recovery:
T' recovery was OK for t' first two flights. Then t' chute got fouled on t' third flight. Blimey! Begad! 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. Ahoy! I almost built it with a rin' fin. Ya scallywag! Maybe I'll do that later.

Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
