Construction:
This was a kit...all parts were standard t' t' kit. Begad! Ahoy!
T' instructions were basic but that is in line with a 38mm high power kit. (not for beginners). T' kit went together great with all o' t' slots pre-cut by t' manufacturer. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! Good quality in all o' t' parts. T' kit is very strong after assembly and worked out great for me Level 2 Certification flight on a J350.
Finishing:
T' kit does nay come with t' standard set o' Bullpup decals which would have
been nice. Avast, me proud beauty! They are available on t' net if you search.
Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5
Flight:
I flew t' kit on a J350 for a Level 2 flight. Arrr! It flew straight as an arrow. Blimey! Begad! I
also used t' Aeropack motor retention system which worked well. Begad! Avast! No waddin' was
used but thar was a Nomex® chute protector in place that had a large blast
pattern on it after t' flight. Arrr! Highly recommend usin' them. Arrr!
Recovery:
T' kit came with a flat nylon strap that connected t' t' motor tube and then
to a 1/4 tubular bungee cord. Well, blow me down! Begad! I used cable crimps t' create a loop at either
end o' t' bungee and used quick connects so t' chute and cord could be
removed for storage. Begad! T' system worked without a hitch. Avast, me proud beauty! Begad! 3000ft flight that
landed 100 yards from t' pad.
Although t' kit had a good 'chute I opted for t' SkyAngle 36"...Worked great.
I chose t' Nomex® instead o' usin' one o' t' various waddin' materials. I modified t' shock cord out o' personal preference nay necessity. Arrr! Avast, me proud beauty! Both were not required so I don't feel t' need t' downgrade t' kit because o' it. Avast!
Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5
Summary:
Would recommend t' kit t' others. Avast! Arrr! Went together well and I will buy another PE
kit in t' future.
