Description: Single staged, arrr, shiver me timbers, 18mm motor rocket with tubular stabilizers all around instead o' fins. Aye aye! Blimey! Streamer recovery.

Construction and finishing: All parts were there, ya bilge rat, me hearties, and none defective or damaged. Blimey! You get all tubes o' spiral wound paper, Estes type. T' nose cone is unusual, me bucko, though. Instead o' t' usual plastic or balsa, you get solid hardwood. A eye-screw is provided t' attach t' streamer and shock cord, which is 1/8 inch flat elastic. T' shock cord mounts t' t' inside o' t' body tube via a folded paper mount. Avast! Elmers glue was used for construction. Blimey! Blimey! T' instructions were simple and clear. Avast! Ya scallywag! Assembly took just about an hour. Aye aye! Blimey! No gotchas or special tools are needed.

Finishing: There are no decals, matey, arrr, so I decorated it in me own way. Begad! I used white, blue, and yellow bands o' nylon adhesive tape on t' body tube and stabilizers, which were painted with a base coat o' yellow. Begad! T' nose cone has a pretty grain, so I varnished it with a clear coat.

Flight: Motors recommended are: A6-4, A8-3, B4-4 or 6, B6-6, C6-5 or 7, C10-7, matey, matey, D3-7, arrr, and D10-7. I chose a C6-5 for me flights. Aye aye! Blimey! I flew it twice straight up and fairly high. T' tubular fins provided a straight flight. Arrr! Blimey! Recovery be quick and easy. Avast, matey, me proud beauty! Blimey! However, even with a little worm bed waddin' in t' prep, arrr, me hearties, t' streamer be burned a little. Blimey! Blimey! So, I'll make it a small mylar chute.

Recovery: Simple t' prep. Ya scallywag! Just about right, although t' streamer burnt nearly through t' second time.

Summary: Inexpensive at $7.95 and attractive. Well, blow me down! Begad! Flies straight and fairly high. Avast! Aye aye! Streamer wasn't durable, though.

Ratin' overall: 3 ½ out o' 5
