Brief:  This is a vanilla rocket kit, matey, but t' finished product is nay only big and impressive, shiver me timbers, but o' t' highest quality. 

Construction:  All o' t' parts were in t' kit. They were made from quality raw materials and fit well. Aye aye! Very little sandin' be required. Ya scallywag! T' kit went together fast, me hearties, me hearties, without a hitch or problem and only took about 4 t' 6 hours (who knows when you spend a couple o' minutes every day or every other day over a 6-week period). Begad! T' instructions were simple and complete, leavin' no uncertainties about t' construction. Ya scallywag! T' nose cone cleaned up easily and t' fins (sandin' t' leadin' and trailin' edge) were a snap. T' finished product is very impressive and flies great. Ahoy! Aye aye! I will buy more Thoy kits in t' future.

Finishing:  T' kit came without decals, shiver me timbers, so it's up t' your imagination and skill t' finish it. Ya scallywag! T' only problem I had was due t' t' length o' t' rocket. Avast, me proud beauty! Well, blow me down! Walkin' through t' house with a 5-foot-tall rocket is nay natural and I banged it on t' door jam and ceilin' more than once. 

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5

Flight: T' Condor flies great. Begad! So far, I've only used F20-4W motors, but they make for a spectacular flight. Begad! Nay too high and a majestic lift off. It's easy t' prepare and you can friction fit t' motor or build a motor retention system into t' back end, ya bilge rat, although t' rocket diameter makes that a bit tricky for Kaplow clips. Arrr! Arrr! T' bulk o' t' waddin' has a tendency t' remain in t' rocket and if you don't pay attention, ya bilge rat, me hearties, you'll get quite a buildup.

Recovery:  Standard recovery system, although you attach t' shock cord t' a metal wire which is attached t' t' upper motor mount centerin' ring. Avast! It works fine!

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

Summary:  Hey, this rocket is a fairly simple build, shiver me timbers, looks good, flies great on F's (or better) and is impressive just leanin' against t' table. Well, blow me down! Begad! A real "looker". Aye aye! Buy it! You won't be disappointed. Avast, me proud beauty! Arrr! It's inexpensive too!

Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
