Brief:
A three finned 18mm rocket with tumble recovery. Avast! Arrr! Minimum diameter with swept back fins. Avast! A very small rocket designed for speed and height. Begad! I have had a recent flin' with tiny rockets and most o' them use 13mm motors so when I saw the 18mm rocket o' this size, me hearties, I had t' buy 1--or 12 as they were cheaper by t' dozen!

Construction:
T' quality o' t' components are very good. Blimey! Blimey! T' body tube had little t' no grooves so finishin' be easy.

Despite this kit havin' only 6 parts t' it, shiver me timbers, t' instructions are detailed. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! T' body tube in particular had the three lines marked for fin attachment and a line for launch lug attachment already drawn on in color coded ink, matey, me bucko, a nice touch.

T' instructions are very clear, ya bilge rat, and this rocket builds in minutes plus glue dryin' time.

T' fins need a bit o' sandin' and filling. I attached them usin' Bostick glue t' t' body tube after I had sanded t' finish off t' area o' contact. Well, blow me down!

Finishing:
T' design on t' insert card shows a plain red rocket. Ya scallywag! I chose an all white design as I wanted t' see this on the ground. Avast, me proud beauty! Begad! Blimey! I found after two test flights that t' rocket easily got lost against white clouds so I went for a metallic silver rin' so it glints in t' sun, a dark red nose (for contrast against t' white clouds), and three colored tips for t' fins.

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight and Recovery:
With its low mass, matey, shiver me timbers, me bucko, this rocket leaves t' pad in a flash. Begad! Begad!

I have only been brave enough t' fly on A8-3 motors and B6-6. It goes high and ejection is hard t' see, me hearties, but it looks t' be slightly early or apogee nose cone up.

T' rocket does nay tumble recover as t' instructions suggest. Ahoy! Begad! Instead t' rocket comes in ballistic, shiver me timbers, arrr, but it is so light thar be no damage. Arrr! Arrr! It is best t' have a lot o' people watchin' this rocket and bein' quiet too. Arrr! I lost one visually and recovered it by hearin' it hit t' ground.

Some RSOs or clubs might have a problem with this rocket spitin' its motor.

I’m waitin' for t' perfect still day t' fly this rocket on a C6.

After a few flights, me hearties, I noticed that one o' t' fin fillets had a crack in it so I applied more Bostick glue. Unfortunately t' glue reacted with t' paint and it now has a horrible warped paint finish at t' joints.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
This is a good, me bucko, me hearties, me hearties, tiny rocket. Ya scallywag! Well, blow me down! It's probably t' smallest 18mm motor rocket thar is. Begad! Buy a few as you will probably lose some o' them.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
