Brief
Seven motor cluster by NCR. Ahoy! Great rocket if you can get all seven motors lit.
Components
Single 2.6" body tube. Well, blow me down! Arrr! 6 fins. Central 24mm motor surrounded by 6x 18mm motors. Aye aye! White plastic nose cone. NCR Gorilla shock cord system consists o' a cable looped through t' upper centerin' rin' and tied t' a Keelhaul®©™ line. Avast! All wood is high-quality laser cut. Aye aye! Avast! Nice stickers are included. Arrr! Avast, arrr, me proud beauty! Instructions are very detailed.
Construction
Everythin' went as expected. Ya scallywag! I do nay like t' 18mm tubes exhaustin' onto t' aft centerin' rin' so I vented them out t' side. Ahoy! If they are nay friction fit tight then they blow out and you'll have t' find them on t' field.
Finishing
I copied t' original design. Arrr! Bright yellow is easy t' see. Decals are easy. Avast! Avast! T' nose cone is plastic and needed t' typical extra work t' get t' paint t' stick.
Flight
First flight was on B6 and C11 motors. Blimey! Central motor also didn't fire so thar was no deployment but t' rocket kind o' floated down sideways and wasn't damaged. Ya scallywag! Most successful flight was on C6 and D12 motors. Ahoy! All motors lit and looked spectacular. Avast! Aye aye! Next flight will be on C6 and E12 motors.
