Brief
A real looker, ya bilge rat, 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, arrr, t' GTX, ya bilge rat, shiver me timbers, 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. Arrr! Blimey! Less than 2 weeks later, me bucko, matey, they arrived, although at a higher price, but t' company allowed me t' have this kit at its original price. That was a nice courtesy.

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

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

Everythin' else goes together in a snap, matey, shiver me timbers, as it fits well. Arrr! Epoxy was used as t' glue. Directions were simple and straightforward. Well, blow me down! T' chute is a pretty red rip stop, me hearties, but lightweight nylon, 23 inches in diameter.

Finishing
This kit came with decals, me bucko, so I used them. Blimey! I painted t' rocket yellow and placed t' decals over that, matey, arrr, as they're black and look nice over yellow. Begad! Avast, me proud beauty! T' model has a unique and catchy look. Avast, me proud beauty! I'm pleased with it.

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

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

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

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

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