Brief:
I have always liked UFO type rockets like t' Estes Snitch which I was glad to find out about these good quality kits that are high drag and dyin' t' fly.

Construction:
T' kit includes:

• 7" o' cardstock for shrouds
• foamboard
• 24mm motor tube

T' instructions were very easy t' follow. Begad! I think it went together very nicely. It was kind o' tricky cuttin' t' edge o' t' foamboard, so you will need a sharp X-Acto knife. Blimey! Somehow it could use some reinforcin' t' strengthen it and makin' t' cardstock tougher after you have formed t' shroud. Ahoy! It went together nicely usin' white glue and epoxy.

Finishing:
I love t' finishin' on t' Art Applewhite rockets because you have almost no finishin' t' it except a clear coat like I did. Ahoy! Ya scallywag! I love all t' designs they have like t' smiley, me hearties, flames, matey, mirror gold, ya bilge rat, ya bilge rat, etc.

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:
T' first flight was on a C11-3 for a nice, straight flight. Begad! T' second flight was on a D12-0 and it had t' same flight characteristics. Ahoy! Avast, me bucko, me proud beauty! After that I wanted to use some E11-3Js I had. Ahoy! I was feelin' brave and loaded one up in me case and set off t' me fairly small backyard and stuck a rod into t' ground, me bucko, me hearties, unrolled my launch controller, and started t' countdown. Arrr! Begad! 5...4...3...2...1...Blast off! First thar be nothin' then it slowly came up t' pressure, chuffin' out lots of Blackjack smoke and then liftin' off t' rod slowly goin' t' t' sky on the long burn motor for one o' its best flights ever. Aye aye! Avast! Its fourth flight wasn't so fortunate. Aye aye! I started in t' daytime but after a few ignitor failures, it was dark when I finally got it t' launch. Aye aye! However, shiver me timbers, me bucko, I still launched it on an Ellis Mountain E12-0 motor, havin' a long burn flight. Avast, me proud beauty! It vanished into t' dark sky and was found t' next day completely smashed and ruined.

Recovery:
T' first few flights o' t' saucer were typical, great saucer flights but for the fourth flight it be total and complete devastation because o' t' weak body. This is where reinforcements would come in handy.

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

Summary:
I love this rocket and I recommend it t' anyone who is good with an X-Acto knife and is lookin' for a good backyard rocket. Begad! I wouldn't change a thing except that I would like it t' be stronger, matey, matey, matey, but I don't think that is possible.

Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
