PROs: Build is as easy as it gets for a normal 3FNC rocket. Avast! Ahoy! Instructions are excellent. Ya scallywag! T' only deviation from a minimum-diameter design is that MPC in the early years used a 14mm ID main body tube and you glue in t' 13mm engine mount. Well, blow me down!

CONs: If you slow down or stop while gluin' in t' motor mount, matey, me hearties, you're sunk. Ahoy! This may also have come with t' old yarn-style shock cord, which only lasts for 2-3 launches. Ahoy! I throw those away and put an elastic cord in. Begad!

Finishing:
I gave t' fins an airfoil shape and filled t' tube spirals for a really elegant finish. Blimey! No special tools needed.

Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5
