Brief:
Single stage tube fin 18mm rocket with parachute recovery.
Construction:
T' kit includes:
You must read t' instructions first or you will be upset. They tell you how t' put t' beautiful rocket together properly. Ahoy! Begad! There are just a few steps t' assembly but all are critical. Well, blow me down! Make sure that t' surface that the tube dry on is level. Begad! I used Gorilla Glue, me bucko, which works really fast and it doesn't run hardly at all. Begad! Once t' tubes and the motor mount dried it was a breeze. Begad! Well, me bucko, blow me down! I changed t' screw eye t' a bigger size because It adds t' t' stability o' the rocket and it doesn't drift as far. Arrr! Avast! I ordered me kit online from Red River Rocketry's website and it took about four days t' arrive. Begad! Great service as always.
Finishing:
T' rocket is painted with 2 coats o' Rustoleum white paint. I let it dry overnight. Ahoy! Well, blow me down! I attached decals, bought me
some engines, shiver me timbers, and had a great time on Father's Day

Flight:
Flew it on three B6-4s due t' it bein' a little windy. Avast! Begad! But all flights were straight and true with nose down
ejection.
Recovery:
I cut a relief hole in t' chute so drift was kept t' a minimum. Arrr! It landed about 100ft from t' pad on all 3 flights.
Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5
Summary:
I love tube fins and this one is very nice because it is nay a (standard) tube fin rocket. Ahoy! Blimey! T' designer got out of
the box and staggered t' tube fins makin' it just a little unique and I like that.
