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. Begad! There is one body tube and four motor tubes that extend outward from t' main body. Ya scallywag! Blimey!

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

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

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. Avast, me bucko, me proud beauty! Blimey! It seemed easy t' get them cock-eyed, me hearties, me hearties, so I sight aligned them while t' epoxy holdin' them dried. Begad! Blimey! A centerin' rin' further reinforces their connection and placement inside the body tube. Aye aye! Blimey! Two beveled launch lugs are supplied that take as big as me 3/8 inch rod. Avast, me proud beauty!

T' recovery system is another clever design. It is a coupler and bulkhead with holes in it like a baffle. Well, blow me down! Begad! A screweye anchors t' round nylon shock cord. T' chute was supplied, and is a thin nylon, shiver me timbers, arrr, bright yellow 24 incher. Arrr!

Finishing:
I spray painted it gold and decorated it with metallic prismatic paper. Avast! There is a Quadra G decal lettering, shiver me timbers, so I applied t' letters. Begad! Ya scallywag! I only got t' word, "Quad" and nay "Quadra" but I figured that it was okay. Arrr! Avast, me proud beauty! I was goin' t' call t' flight "Clusterophobia" instead anyway. Begad! Aye aye! The result is strikin' and unique. Avast, me proud beauty! Ya scallywag! 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. So, my first flight be with 2 G35-7W's and 2 G40-7W's. Blimey! T' like motors were diagonally arranged. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! T' flight was straight and gorgeous. Aye aye! There seemed t' be deployment just slightly before apogee, shiver me timbers, matey, so I surmised that t' delay was too short. Avast! T' nylon shock cord be stressed after this as well, ya bilge rat, matey, so I replaced it with 10 feet o' 1000 lb. Begad! Keelhaul®©™® cording. Then I flew it twice on 4 G40-10W's. Everyone LOVED this. Straight, high, and loud. Well, blow me down! Blimey! It even made a club video memory. Aye aye! Blimey! I did have t' walk a bit, me bucko, but I think I caught a thermal.

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

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

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