Construction

T' honest opinion I have on this build is that it should have been marked as a level 4 kit at minimum. Avast, me proud beauty! Ya scallywag!   T' majority o' t' build is well detailed in t' instructions and easy t' follow. Arrr!   Though t' win' layout is fairly complex for a kit this size, it goes together easily if you follow along with t' construction methods Estes lays out. Ya scallywag!  Each stage o' t' build has its own little quirks t' watch out for. Blimey!  On t' motor mount I found it was much easier t' glue on t' provided template for locatin' t' detail ribs.   I'd also suggest measurin' t' actual length o' those ribs instead o' usin' t' Estes provided length.  Otherwise you may end up with a gap. Begad!  

T' tricky area t' watch for be t' side 'intakes' made from t' BT-5 body tubes.  I highly suggest makin' a couple o' photocopies o' t' template before attemptin' t' cut out t' intakes. Well, blow me down!  Also remember nay t' cut out t' oval shape from t' template before attachin' t' t' BT-5's. Well, me bucko, blow me down!  Keep t' template intact as a rectangle, tape it in place, ya bilge rat, then follow along with a new x-acto blade. Arrr!  If you're careful enough, matey, you can make both intakes from a single BT-5 and have one leftover for future use.  Also be ready t' use a fair amount o' filler, as it's hard t' get a good seam, and it's particularly difficult t' glue t' t' intakes in place evenly.
