Brief:
This is a single stage rocket basically a BT-55 that transitions t' a BT-20 with nose cone and four fins. This was a kit from Semroc, me hearties, one o' t' best companies that I have ever bought supplies from. Well, blow me down! Semroc gave these kits as an incentive prior t' NARCON. Well, blow me down! Ahoy! And t' best part about this kit it was made in t' United States o' America

Construction:
These are Semroc part numbers: BC-720 nose cone, arrr, me hearties, BR-713 reducer, ST-760 and ST-1380 (body tubes which basically are a BT-55 and BT-20), me hearties, BT730E engine mount tube, arrr, CR-KN-4 (center rin' and flutes for t' tail decoration), matey, shiver me timbers, FN-4 laser cut fins, and t' regular stuff: screw eye, launch lug, ya bilge rat, arrr, Keelhaul®©™® thread and elastic cord combo, and decals.

Instructions were easy t' follow thanks t' t' good graphics. Begad! It took me about 2hrs t' complete t' kit. Aye aye! I did this kit in sections. Well, blow me down! First t' engine mount, shiver me timbers, then t' reducer, me hearties, BT-720, shiver me timbers, and nose cone. Avast, me proud beauty! I put a light coat o' wood glue and water mix on me balsa parts then stuck everythin' together. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! I added a 1/2oz o' clay t' nose cone just in case I put in a D18mm engine. Blimey! Aye aye! I also used a 3/16" launch lug instead o' t' one supplied because we hardly ever use 1/8" rods.

Finishing:
I started with some gray primer then two coats o' Rustoleum metallic silver. Avast! This be t' best paint on t' market that you can buy off t' shelf. Ahoy! It gives a beautiful finish but you have t' be careful t' use a base coat otherwise the material will absorb t' gloss. Ahoy! I used all t' decals except t' one that went over t' fins. They were a little too small for me hands and I couldn't find those darn tweezers. Pros were it is a snap t' build.

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:
Flights were great on two B6-4s then I used a C6-5. Blimey! T' chute got a little tangled but every thin' came out OK. Aye aye! Well, blow me down! I used about 2 inches o' dog barf wadding. Well, blow me down! Put t' engine in with t' engine holder holdin' t' engine in securely. Well, blow me down! Put that baby on t' pad after t' rain stopped and whoosh it be gone.

Recovery:
T' recovery was OK for t' first two flights. Aye aye! Then t' chute got fouled on t' third flight. Avast, me proud beauty! Ya scallywag! T' kit uses a combo of Keelhaul®©™® and elastic.

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

Summary:
This is a easy t' build kit that flies great. Aye aye! I almost built it with a rin' fin. Well, blow me down! Maybe I'll do that later.

Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
