Brief:
This is a neat little aerobrake design that flies great with a lot o' spinning!
Construction:
T' kit consists o' two sheets o' cardstock, ya bilge rat, shiver me timbers, a motor hook, matey, matey, and the
instructions. Ya scallywag!
T' instructions are easy t' follow and have great illustrations that spell everythin' out easily. Aye aye! I found that it only took 25 minutes t' cut out all the parts and assemble it! T' parts fit great and thar were no issues in the build. Begad! After t' glue dries you have a very sturdy little craft. Blimey!
When rollin' t' motor tube be very careful nay t' use too much glue and glue the motor into t' mount.
One thin' I did that was nay in t' instructions is hold t' fin pieces together with a bunch o' paperclips t' dry. Avast! Dry time for mine was about 20 minutes before t' first flight. Aye aye! I was flyin' it in under an hour!
Finishing:
T' kit comes in many colors and needs no finishin' when you are done. One
could spray a clear coat on it t' protect it from moisture if desired. Begad! Also due
to t' fact that it is paper, one could draw or decorate it any way they
wanted.

Flight:
I used all B6-0 motors and had great flights. Avast, me hearties, me proud beauty! It is as easy t' prepare as
puttin' t' motor in t' motor tube.
It flys nice and straight and spins rapidly durin' ascent. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! It is fun to watch.
Recovery:
T' recovery is aerobrake so all you do is watch it fall and then pick it up.
It will probably win t' prize for landin' closest t' t' pad.

Summary:

A very simple rocket that is capable of EXTREME spinning! This review is for the super scimitar. My Scimi (yes i call scimi, prnounced like semi) is florecent red but looks more like some shade of orange. Still happy. It comes printed on two sheets of cardstock and can be built in less than an hour. I ordered it along with a Green Stealth. You choose your color. The intructions are very ...
