I received this kit from Hobbylinc a couple o' weeks ago. Begad! Since I have experience with t' smaller Lightnin' version, I decided t' make some modifications t' this one. Ahoy!  

T' kit is fairly easy t' build and t' instructions are excellent.   I did make t' followin' changes. Avast, me proud beauty! Ahoy! I made a motor mount tube from an ESTES BT20 tube. Arrr! T' original is too thin and cheap. Arrr! T' original is too thin and cheap. Ahoy! Begad! T' outside diameter o' t' BT20 is a bit small, so I added a few pieces o' scrap tubin' betwixt t' plastic motor mount cap and t' tube (make sure t' sand down t' tube, me bucko, ya bilge rat, t' scap pieces and t' plastic cap).  

T' other change be that I added an ESTES engine hook. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Blimey! I filed t' wall on t' plastic cap that fits on t' motor tube and t' hook passes through. Ya scallywag! Arrr! Blimey!  

Finally, I cut a 12" inch 8 strin' chute from a thick garbage bag and discarded t' original. Begad! Vents and a spill hole were cut on t' chute. Arrr! Ya scallywag!  

Let's launch this kit! After an unproductive day at t' JOB, I went t' one o' me favorite spots with a 500' x 400' section. Ahoy! Well, blow me down! Wind be gustin' t' 10 mph. Avast! T' rocket is unpainted and in t' original white. Avast!  

Flight #1 B4-4 - Excellent lift-off and straight as an arrow. Begad! Delay was good and recovery was good. Begad! No spiralin' no weird apogee no nothing, I think I'll go for a B6-4. Begad!  

Flight #2 You guessed it B6-4 - Excellent and much faster take off. Avast, me proud beauty! Nice and straight, arrr, matey, kind o' like t' Big Dawg, matey, arrr, and hardly any weather-cockin' (no, this is nay t' Oval Room!) 

Flight #3 Ok Ok, matey, this is fun, let's try t' C6-3. Well, blow me down! This time, arrr, I have t' angle t' rod a few degrees against t' wind. Ahoy! Blimey! Blimey! Make sure thar aren't any mutts runnin' loose and t' spectators have no interest or meatloaf for brains. Aye aye! Blimey! T' take off be good, me bucko, me hearties, but t' rocket did seem t' want t' go straight up. Begad! Avast! Blimey! A little high, matey, man I am thinkin' I should have used that 10" chute! Blimey! This time, t' rocket goes really high and I lost sight o' it. I see t' Estes white trace (or whatever it is called) and t' black chute. Goes into t' next soccer field and nice recovery. Ya scallywag! Arrr! Blimey! Some old folks that were romantically embraced under a tree near where t' rocket fell gave me t' "young man, you . . Avast! Blimey! . . Avast! Blimey! . Ya scallywag! Avast, ya bilge rat, me proud beauty! Blimey! " look on their faces. Maybe they needed their Geritol or some Bengay, arrr, so I just smiled nicely and apologized for t' intrusion.

Flight #4 and 5. This time I use t' C6-5. This time I use t' C6-5. Begad! Blimey! T' rocket went up great and came down great, me bucko, me bucko, BUT, ya bilge rat, is it me or do t' C6-5's seem a little on t' wimpy side lately? I went for 2 flights because they did nay act like t' C6-3 with t' exception o' 2 extra seconds t' t' delay. Blimey! Blimey! T' delay was nay off, shiver me timbers, I just seem t' notice that t' engine "puttered" in mid air and did nay put t' rocket as high. Could be just a bad batch. Avast! Blimey! T' batch I used on me Big Dawg report were great! 

Flight #6 did nay happen. Well, blow me down! I did nay brin' with me a C5-3 and me family wants me home for dinner. Arrr! Hey, shiver me timbers, those folks under t' tree are talkin' t' t' nice police person. I think they just needed a splash o' cold water or something. Blimey! Bye nice police person, arrr, ya bilge rat, she waves back.  

It is time t' pack up and go home t' me other rockets and find out if t' Hobbylinc loot arrived (did I put in an order :-). Begad! I think I'll paint t' QUEST Falcon and add it t' me favorites list. Aye aye!
