Estes Naboo Royal Starship Brief:
This is the mini engine powered version of the Naboo Royal Starship. It has a streamer deployment.

Construction:
The rocket comes pre-assembled, you merely have to glue on the clear plastic wings and tie the streamer on.

The instructions are very easy, there are only 3 assembly steps, and 1 motor placement step. I used Testors plastic cement that is available at any hobby shops/craft store.

Finishing:
The rocket is pre-finished with no decals.

Estes Naboo Royal Starship Construction Rating: 4 out of 5

Flight:
This little thing flies great. It spins on the way up, but flew pretty straight. I used a shorter launch rod to minimize whip. I only use Estes A10-3T engines.

Recovery:
It has very good flights, and the streamer usually deploys just after apogee. I don't think it reaches 300 feet, more around 200-250 feet. It goes about as high as the Moondog.

Flight Rating: 4 out of 5

Summary:
PRO - great fun to fly and the shock cord did not break yet.
CON - wish it had a Quest style Kevlar® shock cord.

Overall Rating: 4 out of 5
