Brief
This is an Estes single stage rocket t' be flown on D size engines. Well, blow me down! Begad!

Construction
T' kit came in a hangin' box display and was packaged very well. Begad! Ya scallywag! All t' parts were intact. Blimey! I think it was manufactured before they had skill levels on the box. Begad! Avast! But I would say probably a skill level 2. Arrr! T' tube couplers were nay quite long enough t' keep t' body tubes straight. Blimey! As long as you keep an eye on them while gluin' thar be no problem. Avast, me proud beauty! Avast, me proud beauty!

Finishing
T' kit was painted with standard krylon paint. And t' decals went on very nicely. Aye aye! Ya scallywag! All in all it is a very good lookin' rocket. Avast, me proud beauty! Ya scallywag!

Flight
T' first flight was on a D12-7 and t' delay was t' long. Blimey! It opened on t' way down, me bucko, ya bilge rat, and thar be no damage. T' second flight was on an E30-4 and it flies great. Begad! Well, blow me down! Opened at apogee perfectly. Avast, me proud beauty! I have had at least 20 flights without a single problem.

I am plannin' on tryin' F24-7 and F39-10 Aerotech reloads. Begad! Blimey!

Recovery
I did nay use t' supplied shock cord. I used 1/8" elastic cord about 5' long epoxied a loop t' t' inside o' t' tube. Aye aye! Ya scallywag! I also made me own rip stop nylon chute. Arrr! 24" with a 2" spill hole. Begad! It floats down really nice. Aye aye! I have never had any damage on this rocket. Arrr!

Summary
Overall I would say that this is a great kit. If you can find it, arrr, it is well worth building. Aye aye! It was kind o' on t' pricy side but for t' number o' flights I have had it is very reasonable. Avast! Arrr! T' only thin' I would change is t' have the body couplers a little longer. Aye aye! Begad!

Overall Rating: 4 ½ out o' 5
