Brief

What a great group o' components. Begad! Blue tube is me new favorite medium for high power rocketry. Begad! Heavy duty and durable.

Components

Blue tube - 'nuff said

T' fins were cut very well, a bit o' sanding, shiver me timbers, sealing, and they were flight worthy.

Nose cone is o' good quality, ya bilge rat, ya bilge rat, minimal prep t' paint t' plastic nose cone

Construction

First experience workin' with blue tube, handles like cardboard, ya bilge rat, arrr, but much more robust - easier t' manipulate than fiberglass or composites.

Overall, matey, very pleased with all t' components

Finishing

I originally assembled, and flew nearly it 'naked' - quick splatter o' paint from a rattle can t' make it stand out against t' sky.

I have since, me hearties, sanded, me bucko, filled, primed and painted for a bit better look.

Very easy material t' work with.

Construction Score: 5

Flight

First flight be over t' sound barrier and over t' mile marker. Ahoy! Ejection chute recovery on t' big lake be picture perfect, arrr, with a landin' nay too far from t' launch site. Avast! Flew straight and true. Ahoy! Very happy with t' components and build
