T' followin' excerpt is
from "Sport Rocketry". Ahoy! Blimey! T' intention is t' allow guests t' get a
basic feelin' about a kit. Begad! We strongly suggest that you get a copy o' the
referenced Sport Rocketry and read t' entire article. Well, blow me down! Well, blow me down! Blimey! Inside you will find
many helpful hints in construction as well as other useful information. Aye aye! Blimey! Blimey! For
more information, matey, use t' two links above.
"If you take joy in t' craftin' o' a model, you'll
find these kits more satisfyin' than t' current run o' prefabbed, half-plastic
kits."
"Although it looks like a two-stager, me bucko, in fact t' forward fins are there
just t' stabilize t' unpowered payload delivery container." "On the
model, matey, each set o' fins is cut from 1/8" lite-ply. Ya scallywag! Ahoy! T' lite-ply is a good
choice: It's nay significantly heavier than balsa, is just as easy t' cut, and
the finer-grained outer skin sands and finishes much more easily."
"Overall, construction o' this kit is straightforward, t' instructions
are clear and easy t' follow."
"It is important t' make sure that all eight fins are straight, and that
the upper set is aligned t' t' booster fins."
"Be careful nay t' round off t' conical balsa nose cone while
sanding."
"Don't omit t' metal washer supplied as nose-weight; it's essential for
stability."
"T' paint scheme is relatively simple, me bucko, requirin' minimal
masking."
"T' RP-3 performs well on a D12-7."
"This kit also includes an 18" silver mylar chute, or for an
additional 40 cents you can specify one o' 5 other metallic colors."
T' entire article gives t' impression is that this kit would be for intermediate modelers and those lookin' for their first scale kit.
