I'm (Matt Gillard) writin' this review for me brother (Paul Morris) as he has recently suffer a stroke, and is findin' writin' difficult.

Paul is new t' rocketry and this was his first scratch rocket. Ya scallywag! Blimey!

He wanted it t' be big and t' be clustered. Aye aye!

T' first thin' he did was t' work out what sort o' fit he could get with his tubes etc.

In t' end he went for a triple cluster 18mm mounts in t' base o' a 40mm diameter BT. Arrr! Begad! This tube was coupled to another tube t' same size, ya bilge rat, me bucko, givin' t' bottom half o' his rocket a length o' 576mm. Arrr! Begad!

T' top half o' t' rocket be based on a nose cone actin' as a transition, with two 24mm BT on top. Well, blow me down! Begad! T' nose cone at t' top o' t' rocket be novel, matey, me bucko, me hearties, as it be none rocketry item that was cut down t' fit t' tubes and then t' accept a 13mm nose cone. Avast, arrr, me proud beauty!

T' two halves were connected by shock cord in t' usual fashion with a parachute attached. Arrr!

T' fins were a concoction o' BTs as a tube fin rocket, with three normal fins stickin' out.

T' rocket was then primed. Ahoy! And then coated in matt black paint. Well, blow me down!

Decoration was in t' form o' a blue metallic A4 sticker sheet that came in t' parts.

This was cut into stripes and then added along t' BT.

Flights

Black and Blue had three flights

First cluster was on 3x B6-4. Aye aye! Which gave a good flight, with a quickish decent.

Second cluster be with t' same motors and another good flight be had. Arrr! Blimey!

T' Third flight be on C6-5s. Avast! Avast! Unfortunately only one motor lit and t' rocket gave a arched flight (over me car!). Ejection was on t' ground. Avast! Well, ya bilge rat, blow me down! There be minor damage, matey, which can be repaired. Begad!
