Brief

Simple kit t' build with just a few steps t' get t' t' field.   My son put this together himself.

Since he likes big rockets but we only have a 300 yard field, matey, we use small parachutes. Begad!   This rocket is very sturdy and can handle harder landings. Ahoy!   For us, me bucko, shiver me timbers, this rocket is perfect if you want a quick t' build large rocket.

Components

  • Plastic nose cone
  • Large tube
  • D engine kit
  • Plastic sturdy fins

Construction

Pro - simple t' build.   We love t' sturdy fins and nose cone. Avast, me proud beauty!  That allows for usage o' streamers or small parachutes.

Cons - if you love buildin' as much as launching, you won't want this kit.

Finishing

Simple!!!!!

 

Construction Score: 5

Flight

Perfectly straight flight.

Large rocket

Recovery

Sturdy    Takes a beatin' and keeps on ticking.

 

T' only thin' I would improve would be t' add a nylon parachute instead o' t' thin plastic.

 

Flight Rating: 5

Summary

Very sturdy D-size rocket that builds quickly.
