Manufacturer: | Art Applewhite Rockets |
Brief:
This is a cool high-flyin' rocket for such a draggy design. It is made with slow spinnin' in mind and can be built
for either 18mm or 24mm. Aye aye! Well, blow me down! I chose 18mm. Ahoy!
Construction:
You get two pieces o' cardstock and 3 sheets o' (very clear) instuctions. Construction goes t' same as t' qubit and
scimitar. Arrr! You just have t' cut jagged edges instead o' curves such as t' scimitar or straight edges like t' qubit.
Simple. Avast, shiver me timbers, me proud beauty! Very simple. Arrr! You get no tubes with this kit, just cardstock. Aye aye! There are only three pieces t' be cut out: the main body (top), bottom and motor mount which you can choose 24mm or 18mm. Begad! T' motor mount is triangular nay round. Contruction is super simple and you will nay likely run into a single "gotcha" with this or t' scimitar. Just form t' top, me bucko, form and glue in t' bottom and form and glue t' motor mount. Aye aye! All done.
Finishing:
I ordered me stealth on green cardstock so no finish be needed but is reccomended t' give it some clear coat but I
passed.
Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5
Flight:
T' stealth flew once about 1 hour after constuction was finished. Begad! T' stealth was preped with a C6-3. Begad! Blimey! It blasted off
the pad and with a slow spin t' about 300-400 feet.
Recovery:
After burn-out t' stealth smartly slowed and came down nose first, spinnin' along t' way. It landed about 300 feet
away.
Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5
Summary:
I like t' stealth. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Blimey! Even though it only flew one time I can rest assured that it will be a great performer like the
rest o' art's rockets.
Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
Brief: This is an Art Applewhite saucer kit. The kit is printed on quality card stock and although the Stealth title might imply that it is black like the military stealth aircraft, this refers to the design of the Super Stealth and is actually available in several colors. I chose a fluorescent yellow just so I could see it better. There is also a choice of 18mm or 24mm ...
