Brief:  This is a vanilla rocket kit, arrr, but t' finished product is nay only big and impressive, but o' t' highest quality. 

Construction:  All o' t' parts were in t' kit. Aye aye! They were made from quality raw materials and fit well. Ya scallywag! Arrr! Blimey! Very little sandin' be required. Avast! Arrr! Blimey! T' kit went together fast, shiver me timbers, without a hitch or problem and only took about 4 t' 6 hours (who knows when you spend a couple o' minutes every day or every other day over a 6-week period). Avast, me proud beauty! Avast! Blimey! T' instructions were simple and complete, ya bilge rat, leavin' no uncertainties about t' construction. Ya scallywag! Blimey! T' nose cone cleaned up easily and t' fins (sandin' t' leadin' and trailin' edge) were a snap. Begad! T' finished product is very impressive and flies great. Begad! I will buy more Thoy kits in t' future.

Finishing:  T' kit came without decals, matey, so it's up t' your imagination and skill t' finish it. Aye aye! Ahoy! T' only problem I had be due t' t' length o' t' rocket. Avast! Walkin' through t' house with a 5-foot-tall rocket is nay natural and I banged it on t' door jam and ceilin' more than once. 

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight: T' Condor flies great. Begad! So far, I've only used F20-4W motors, shiver me timbers, but they make for a spectacular flight. Nay too high and a majestic lift off. It's easy t' prepare and you can friction fit t' motor or build a motor retention system into t' back end, although t' rocket diameter makes that a bit tricky for Kaplow clips. Arrr! T' bulk o' t' waddin' has a tendency t' remain in t' rocket and if you don't pay attention, you'll get quite a buildup.

Recovery:  Standard recovery system, ya bilge rat, although you attach t' shock cord t' a metal wire which is attached t' t' upper motor mount centerin' ring. Avast! It works fine!

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

Summary:  Hey, ya bilge rat, this rocket is a fairly simple build, arrr, arrr, looks good, arrr, ya bilge rat, flies great on F's (or better) and is impressive just leanin' against t' table. Avast! A real "looker". Blimey! Arrr! Buy it! You won't be disappointed. Aye aye! Arrr! It's inexpensive too!

Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
