Brief:
Havin' built all o' Art Applewhite's 13mm paper rockets, me bucko, I'd thought I'd have a go at t' baby versions: t' tiny MMX paper rockets. Ya scallywag! There are four per sheet, two Qubits (one called dicey), a Scimitar, ya bilge rat, and a Stealth. Begad! They are nearly t' same as their bigger brothers except they are vented at their apex--MMX motors don't come in a plugged version. Blimey! Avast! This review is for t' MMX Scimitar.

Construction:
T' kit is contained on a single A4 sheet with four rockets on it.

There are no instructions on t' page, but t' MMX Scimitar builds like it's bigger version. Avast, me proud beauty! Begad! Blimey! With only three parts though, matey, arrr, it doesn't take much figurin' out.

Cut out all t' parts and score t' dotted lines with t' back o' a craft knife guided by a steel ruler while takin' care nay t' score too deep.

Make t' motor mount by wrappin' t' paper around a spent MMX case and then take t' case out immediately. T' engine block is quite tricky t' make, as t' width is only a few millimeters wide. After all t' pieces have dried, glue t' block in t' mount and t' mount in t' body.

Fillet carefully and don't use much glue as this is a very light rocket. Begad! T' whole process takes about 15-20 minutes t' complete.

Finishing:
I usually spray paint Art's rockets, but as these are so small and light that I didn't bother with t' first few. I was a little worried that t' extra mass could affect t' rocket's flight, however, I have spray painted a few and t' paint doesn't affect t' flight noticeably.

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:
With t' very low power o' Quest's MMX motors and t' relatively large surface area o' t' rocket, matey, I was nay expectin' a huge altitude.

On t' first flight t' rocket went straight up with a good spin. Blimey! I guess t' height was betwixt 20-25 feet. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! It landed literally on t' pad. Well, blow me down! Perfect. Blimey! Second and third flights were with a another Scimitar rocket (as I've built 14 MMX rockets this week). Each flight was t' same as t' first except they don't all land on t' pad.

Recovery:
It comes down on featherweight/tumble recovery. Ya scallywag! You could launch this in a gale and it couldn't land far from t' pad.

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

Summary:
Well it's free. Arrr! T' fights aren't spectacular, but it performs well every time. Avast, me proud beauty! Well, blow me down! Everyone should try one--just for t' cute factor if nothin' else.

Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
