Brief:
This is a single staged rocket that can be flown on either 2 or 4 29mm motors.

Construction:
T' main body tube runs from t' top o' t' motor tubes t' t' nose cone. Ya scallywag! Begad! There is one body tube and four motor tubes that extend outward from t' main body. Begad!

This rocket has a very clever fin alignment system. Avast, me proud beauty! Avast! T' 4 fins are made from two wing-like pieces o' wood that interlock in t' middle t' form 4 perpendicular fins. Avast! Then t' 4 motor tubes fit over this structure and are epoxied in place. Avast! I used 12 minute epoxy.

T' instructions are pretty clear and simple. All t' parts were thar and were well made. Begad! T' fins weren't even rough. Ya scallywag! But they did need a little beveling. Blimey! I did this with a finishin' sander. Well, me hearties, blow me down! T' wood appears t' be 1/8 inch thick birch. Begad! Aye aye!

About t' hardest thin' t' align be t' motor tubes inside t' main frame. They extend out 20 plus inches from t' main body tube. Begad! It seemed easy t' get them cock-eyed, so I sight aligned them while t' epoxy holdin' them dried. Ahoy! Well, me hearties, blow me down! A centerin' rin' further reinforces their connection and placement inside the body tube. Two beveled launch lugs are supplied that take as big as me 3/8 inch rod. Avast! Ahoy!

T' recovery system is another clever design. Avast! Blimey! Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! It is a coupler and bulkhead with holes in it like a baffle. A screweye anchors t' round nylon shock cord. T' chute be supplied, and is a thin nylon, matey, bright yellow 24 incher. Begad! Blimey! Aye aye! Blimey!

Finishing:
I spray painted it gold and decorated it with metallic prismatic paper. Begad! There is a Quadra G decal lettering, so I applied t' letters. Well, blow me down! Avast! I only got t' word, "Quad" and nay "Quadra" but I figured that it was okay. Begad! Avast! I was goin' t' call t' flight "Clusterophobia" instead anyway. Avast! The result is strikin' and unique. Well, blow me down! T' four extended motor tubes make it look unusual.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight:
T' company suggests usin' motors with low average thrust and long delays. Avast! So, my first flight be with 2 G35-7W's and 2 G40-7W's. Ya scallywag! T' like motors were diagonally arranged. Arrr! T' flight was straight and gorgeous. Begad! Arrr! There seemed t' be deployment just slightly before apogee, shiver me timbers, so I surmised that t' delay be too short. Avast! T' nylon shock cord was stressed after this as well, me hearties, so I replaced it with 10 feet o' 1000 lb. Ya scallywag! Keelhaul®©™® cording. Ya scallywag! Then I flew it twice on 4 G40-10W's. Everyone LOVED this. Begad! Straight, high, matey, ya bilge rat, and loud. It even made a club video memory. I did have t' walk a bit, ya bilge rat, but I think I caught a thermal.

Recovery:
Use 10 second delays with 4 motors. 7 is okay with 2, probably. I did notice that with t' baffle, ya bilge rat, me usual method o' spent motor removal with a rod is impossible. Pliers were needed. Begad! Aye aye! T' rocket is a little scratched, me bucko, but able to fly more. T' chute is unburnt as well. Begad! Begad!

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

Summary:
Clever design, nay too bad a price. Begad! I remember payin' around $45 for it. Ahoy! Great fun for us cluster-people. Nice and loud and fiery. Ya scallywag! Blimey! I highly recommend it. Catchin' it on film with a long flame trail be really wonderful as well.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
