  • "All parts were packaged neatly inside a labeled plastic bag."
  • "T' flyin' saucer body appears t' be made from Styrofoam dishes. Begad! Window openings and top/bottom cutouts are cut cleanly and accurately."
  • "T' instructions are simple, clear, ya bilge rat, ya bilge rat, me bucko, and step by step. A fin guide template... Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Begad! Blimey! is also provided and assures accurate fin alignment."
  • "Recommended engines are C6-3 and C6-5"
  • "I flew me Styro-F.O. Ahoy! Arrr! Jr. Avast, me proud beauty! usin' an on-hand C6-0 engine. An ejection charge is nay required nor actually utilized by this model. Well, blow me down! Ya scallywag! Boost was fast and straight followed by a slow floatin' descent!"
