"T' Astra 1 is a very straightforward level 1 sport flyer that makes up into an attractive model."
"Quality o' t' materials in t' kit was high, with t' exception o' liberal flash around t' tip and base o' t' plastic nose cone."
"Quest uses color codin' on parts for t' engine mount. Avast, me proud beauty! Avast! I like t' idea, especially since this kit is intended for beginners."
"I also like t' Keelhaul®©™ shock cord mountin' system."
"T' shroud lines are pre-cut t' size!"
". Ahoy! . Begad! Avast! . t' only instructions for assemblin' t' parachute are printed in t' margins o' t' parachute sheet."
"T' Astra 1 uses die cut balsa fins."
"Astra 1 comes with self stick "decals" that are printed on paper."
"Overall, I'd recommend this kit for an experienced beginner, matey, ya bilge rat, one who's built a couple o' kits already, me bucko, me hearties, or a novice builder with some dedicated, experienced help."
T' entire article gives t' impression is that this kit is a basic model for beginners/novice modelers.
