Brief:
This is a single staged (while in t' demo!) rocket, ya bilge rat, me hearties, ya bilge rat, which I used t' teach a small class o' 4 students t' basics o' model rocketry. Begad! Blimey! We knew t' teacher, a very old friend o' me parents. This rocket worked very well for t' students, who all built their rockets well enough t' fly well, even though they had never built a rocket in their lives. Arrr! T' age group be 8-12. Aye aye! (I am currently 12 and a half.)

Construction:
One body tube, 3 fins, 1 lug, me bucko, a streamer, ya bilge rat, shock cord, arrr, arrr, shiver me timbers, and a nose cone. Aye aye! Begad! Nothing special, just a half dozen rockets I whipped up from old parts because I did not have time t' order anything. Begad! Ahoy! Just your basic 3 fins and a nose cone (3FNC). T' tube is 6-8 inches long, dependin' on what I had available.

Just t' normal assembly. Ya scallywag! Blimey! glue t' fins t' t' tube, etc. Avast! Blimey! Fin template is included with this review. Ahoy! Blimey! T' kids had a few alignment issues but I was able to correct them, matey, and they all flew their rockets.

Flight:
Each person flew their rocket once, me bucko, since that is all t' engines I had at the time. Avast! Use any mini motor (13mm) you have. Well, blow me down! If it fits in t' rocket, it is the right motor.

Summary:
PROs: Cheap. Arrr! I did nay spend any loot on anythin' special, I just went with what I had lyin' around. Aye aye! Good flyer and very stable.

CONs: I try t' design all me rockets so they have no cons. Aye aye! I do suppose, arrr, however that we should have set a little more time aside for glue drying. (One fin fell off one rocket in flight.)

Other:
Use this design for school projects and it will be fine. Avast, me proud beauty! Nay an altitude seeker but it is a very good tool t' teach t' basics o' t' hobby.
