Brief:
This is a single staged ,single 29mm motor mount sport scale rocket that is 2.6in. Arrr! in diameter and recovered via a 24in. parachute.

Construction:
When i got t' kit it consisted o' 4-1/8in plywood fins, 1-2.6 dia. Avast! 36in. Avast, shiver me timbers, me proud beauty! Blimey! long main body tube, arrr, ya bilge rat, 1-16in. Ahoy! Ahoy! Blimey! long 2.6 dia. Ahoy! Blimey! payload tube, me hearties, 1-2.6 dia. Begad! Well, blow me down! Blimey! bulkhead assembly, 1-LOC 2.6 nosecone, 1-12in long 29mm motor tube, shiver me timbers, 3-1/8in. Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! plywood centerin' rings, 9 feet o' 1/4in. Well, arrr, blow me down! Blimey! wide strap Keelhaul®©™®, and finally 1-24in. Aye aye! parachute.

the instructions were fairly easy t' follow. Ya scallywag! Begad! T' had several helpful illustrations and were easy t' follow. A newbie would have no problem building this kit. Ya scallywag! When i was buildin' this kit I notice how easy it was t' build considerin' its size. Well, blow me down! Ya scallywag! There were no problems with fin alignment since t' fin tabs reached t' motor mount perfectly. Well, blow me down! When i started assembly I noticed that the nicely laser cut fins were a little flexible so I added a couple coats of sandin' sealer and I have never had a problem. Ya scallywag! I was also a little concerned about t' all strap Keelhaul®©™® shock cord which is tough stuff. My concern be that it might be too tough. I thought that it would cause t' heavy kraft paper tubes t' zipper like a new pair o' levis. Begad! Begad! I actually flew it recently on an F50-6. Blimey! Even though t' label said six second delay it be a true 9 second delay. Blimey! Ya scallywag! T' extra 3 seconds caused the rocket t' come in ballistic and then tail slide and flip over and come in butt first and no zipper was found. 
Pros o' construction: ease o' assembly, arrr, ya bilge rat, great quality materials. 
Cons: nada, arrr, zip, ya bilge rat, zero, zilch, ya bilge rat, none

Finishing:
Finishin' was fairly simple since I chose nay t' fill t' body tube spirals which were average depth. Well, blow me down! T' amount o' paint I used took Care o' that. Avast, me proud beauty! Ya scallywag! I have found that t' best paint out thar that I have ever used is ACE Hardware brand paint. Avast, me proud beauty! This is some very high quality stuff for a low price. Avast, me proud beauty! Avast! I sprayed several coats o' primer sandin' betwixt coats. Arrr! I then painted t' main section Brit Blue and t' payload section and nosecone Silver. After it all dried I thought i would try somethin' new and spice it up a bit. I tried for t' first time a flame paint scheme. I bought some 1/8in. Aye aye! Begad! wide curvable maskin' tape and used that t' mask off t' outline o' t' flame scheme and then masked off t' area with no flames off with normal maskin' tape. Arrr! I then painted silver in t' flame area over t' blue and it came out lookin' amazing.

Flight:
I have flown this rocket twice. Begad! First on t' minimal motor that I would recommend for this kit, t' F20-4 which put it straight up t' about 600 feet. T' second flight was on and F50-6 Blue thunder which popped it off t' pad and straight up t' about 1000 feet. Blimey! I did use me own form o' motor retention since none is provided. Aye aye! I took 2-2in. Ya scallywag! long wide tread wood screws and two was her and simply screw those in and out t' load and unload t' motor. Well, blow me down! Aye aye! I also prefer cellulose waddin' but you could use whatever you want. T' 24in parachute has a little speedy descent rate but I have never had a problem with it. Blimey! Avast, me hearties, me proud beauty! I would like to fly it on a G35 or G38 next and then maybe A G40.

Recovery:
T' worry I had about t' shock cord is long gone. Ya scallywag! But like I said t' recovery is a little speedy unless you glass t' fins if you plan on flyin' it in a parkin' lot, arrr, ya bilge rat, but it holds up fine t' standard fields.

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

Summary:
I think this would be a great First mid power kit for any one. Well, blow me down! T' design is proven and is really pretty cool. Begad! T' whole kit was one big pro. Avast, me proud beauty! There were no cons whatsoever.
