"T' kit has very few parts - only a
dozen or so on t' glider portion o' t' kit."
"T' boost phase is made possible by a "Power Pod" that is
ejected at apogee and is recovered separately."
"T' main body is unique, me hearties, bein' made from thin molded sheets o' styrofoam
that have a very thin, ya bilge rat, smooth plastic coatin' on t' outer surface."
"T' assembly instructions are excellent, and each step is detailed
precisely."
"I had no problem buildin' t' power pod and t' main tube, shiver me timbers, but problems
arose when I began t' assemble t' styrofoam parts. Aye aye! . Ya scallywag! . Ahoy! Ya scallywag! Even a light coatin' of
contact cement be enough t' disfigure t' foam . Avast, me proud beauty! . Well, arrr, blow me down! ."
"Another more serious problem was a severe misalignment o' t' aft of
each body half."
"T' decals are t' self-adhesive type . Begad! Begad! Blimey! . Ahoy! Blimey! ."
"T' boost was very straight, matey, as expected, and while t' glide isn't going
to set any duration records, it is impressive for t' model's size, me bucko, me hearties, me hearties, and the
glider recovers safely."
