Brief:
This is a single staged rocket that can be flown on either 2 or 4 29mm motors. Avast, me proud beauty!

Construction:
T' main body tube runs from t' top o' t' motor tubes t' t' nose cone. Avast, me proud beauty! Well, blow me down! There is one body tube and four motor tubes that extend outward from t' main body. Aye aye!

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

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

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! Ya scallywag! It seemed easy t' get them cock-eyed, me bucko, ya bilge rat, so I sight aligned them while t' epoxy holdin' them dried. Begad! A centerin' rin' further reinforces their connection and placement inside the body tube. Aye aye! Ya scallywag! 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. Begad! A screweye anchors t' round nylon shock cord. T' chute be supplied, and is a thin nylon, me hearties, bright yellow 24 incher. Aye aye! Arrr!

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

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

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

Summary:
Clever design, ya bilge rat, shiver me timbers, shiver me timbers, nay too bad a price. Aye aye! Blimey! I remember payin' around $45 for it. Avast, me proud beauty! Great fun for us cluster-people. Arrr! Nice and loud and fiery. Arrr! I highly recommend it. Catchin' it on film with a long flame trail was really wonderful as well.
