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

Paul is new t' rocketry and this was his first scratch rocket. Blimey! Well, me hearties, blow me down!

He wanted it t' be big and t' be clustered. Avast!

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

In t' end he went for a triple cluster 18mm mounts in t' base o' a 40mm diameter BT. Aye aye! Avast! This tube be coupled to another tube t' same size, arrr, me hearties, givin' t' bottom half o' his rocket a length o' 576mm.

T' top half o' t' rocket was based on a nose cone actin' as a transition, me bucko, with two 24mm BT on top. Ya scallywag! Ahoy! T' nose cone at t' top o' t' rocket was novel, as it was none rocketry item that was cut down t' fit t' tubes and then t' accept a 13mm nose cone. Aye aye!

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

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

T' rocket was then primed. Ahoy! Avast! And then coated in matt black paint. Ahoy! Avast!

Decoration be in t' form o' a blue metallic A4 sticker sheet that came in t' parts. Arrr! Blimey!

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, arrr, ya bilge rat, me bucko, with a quickish decent. Ya scallywag! Begad!

Second cluster was with t' same motors and another good flight was had. Ahoy!

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