Brief:
T' name be t' description. Well, blow me down! Ahoy! This is a simple rocket constructed entirely o' card stock.

Construction:
This kit consists o' a single page o' printed card stock and includes a page o' instructions. Aye aye! T' assemble t' rocket, you need scissors, arrr, an X-acto knife, white glue, me bucko, and crazy glue (CA). T' major components include: upper and lower cones, arrr, me hearties, an inner core section, shiver me timbers, a single piece fin unit that is folded into shape, a motor tube, me bucko, me hearties, and a motor block. As I noted above, ya bilge rat, ya bilge rat, these are all card stock. Avast! Avast! Pretty neat! I will nay go into any detail here, as t' instructions are available on Art Applewhite's web site. Avast, me proud beauty! Arrr! A little snipping, a bit o' glue and you're done. Ahoy! Avast! This is a good project t' assemble while watchin' TV.

Finishing:
No finishin' is required since t' card stock is pre-printed.

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:
A slot betwixt t' fin unit and t' motor tube provides t' 'launch lug'. Begad! Preppin' requires only a small amount o' maskin' tape for motor retention. I flew t' saucer twice so far. Begad! There are spin tabs on t' fin unit that cause t' saucer t' spin on t' way up. However, t' coolest part is that instead o' turnin' over and comin' down nose first, shiver me timbers, this saucer backslides, spinnin' t' whole way down. Avast! It doesn't fly very high, but it is great fun.

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

Summary:
Not much needs t' be said about this kit. It's cute, flies nice, me hearties, and has a simple elegance. Avast! So, what do you get by orderin' t' 'kit' vs. Avast, me proud beauty! just downloadin' t' template from Art's site? Answer: Nice heavy card stock with crisp graphics. Aye aye! If you like Micro Maxx rockets, matey, I recommend you buy one.

Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
