Brief
A real looker, arrr, matey, this short and stout rocket with a rin' around t' fins t' add stability. Avast, me proud beauty! It also has forward finlets forward t' each fin.

Construction
When I ordered its sister kit, t' GTX, this model be temporarily sold out, so I told t' company please t' inform me when more came and that I'd send for it. Less than 2 weeks later, matey, they arrived, me hearties, although at a higher price, me hearties, shiver me timbers, arrr, but t' company allowed me t' have this kit at its original price. Aye aye! Blimey! Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! That was a nice courtesy.

All parts came intact in shippin' popcorn. Ya scallywag! Ya scallywag! T' rin' appears t' be a strong heavy plastic that might be a fiberglass. It's stronger than just polyethylene. Avast! T' fins and finlets are precut plywood and t' sizes are equal in t' sets. Blimey! That's nice nay t' have t' shave some parts t' fit or match, matey, shiver me timbers, like we sometimes must. Ahoy! Aye aye! T' 2 launch lugs fit 1/4 inch rods. Well, blow me down! T' nose cone appears t' be a LOC hollow cone and comes with a premeasured amount o' clay for static stability weighting. Ya scallywag! Arrr! It rattles unnervingly in thar when put in, so I applied a small amount o' epoxy t' keep it still. Begad! My answer t' many problems. Avast! Arrr! Epoxy.

T' motor mount is 29mm tubin' and 2 plywood centerin' rings, shiver me timbers, one o' which has 2 holes designed t' accept a loop from t' steel cordin' in t' aftward part o' t' shock cord system. This cord is crimped twice t' make 2 loops, one forward t' attach t' 1/2 inch elastic shock cord. Aye aye! That be hard, requirin' elbow grease and pliers.

Everythin' else goes together in a snap, matey, as it fits well. Aye aye! Arrr! Epoxy be used as t' glue. Blimey! Begad! Directions were simple and straightforward. Ya scallywag! T' chute is a pretty red rip stop, but lightweight nylon, shiver me timbers, me bucko, 23 inches in diameter.

Finishing
This kit came with decals, shiver me timbers, so I used them. Begad! I painted t' rocket yellow and placed t' decals over that, as they're black and look nice over yellow. T' model has a unique and catchy look. Arrr! I'm pleased with it.

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight
T' manufacturer recommends t' F40-6, F62-6, me bucko, F80-6, G40-10, and G80-10. Ahoy! Blimey! I chose t' G35. Begad! Aye aye! It happens t' be a favorite motor o' mine. Avast, me proud beauty! Arrr! I had one with a 7 delay. Arrr! I figured that be a close call. I'd like an 8 or 9, really. Begad! Anyway, I like t' Econojets because they are noisy on takeoff and put out a pretty flame. Begad! Well, blow me down! Well, t' rocket took off with great noise and went up over 1000 feet for sure. Begad! Arrr! It went up into t' sun, ya bilge rat, so I be unsure if it was still pointed up at ejection. Ahoy! I retained t' motor with piano wire and an auto hose clamp. Worm bed waddin' protected t' chute. Avast! Everythin' fit easily into t' tube and wasn't so tight as t' make preppin' tough.

Recovery
Everythin' survived well, me hearties, ya bilge rat, so it seems that t' 7 second delay is passable. Avast, me proud beauty! T' chute is also a passable size, too, as no fins were damaged.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary
Attractive and easy t' build. Aye aye! Blimey! Good if you want somethin' special t' show others at a launch. Aye aye! It's somethin' you won't find in stores. Well, shiver me timbers, blow me down! I had t' browse t' net for it. Begad! Good mid power flights. Well, blow me down! Great company t' order from.
