Construction overall ratin' 4
Only problem with this kit is that t' large aft fins are kind o' thin I replaced their fins with 1/8" balsa instead o' t' supplied 1/16" and t' rocket seems t' be a lot more sturdy. Begad! Well, blow me down! Their instructions are very easy t' understand and along with a good picture diagram they have a good text walk through. Avast, me proud beauty! Ya scallywag! Finishin' was a breeze and thar are no decals with t' kit so I used me color laser printer t' make a set o' paper "decals" for t' kit.
Flight overall ratin' 5
T' kit flew quite straight and fast on a D12-7 for its 1st flight even with t' slightly heavier modified aft fins. Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! Recovery be nice and soft with t' 18" mylar parachute provided with t' kit.
Overall Ratin' 4
Aside from t' thin, in me opinion, aft fins and t' lack o' decals this kit would be definitely one t' suggest t' t' novice and experienced rocketeer alike.
