Construction:
This rocket goes up in one part and comes down in two. T' Orbiter glides down while t' power pod comes down on a parachute.
T' assembly for t' Space Shuttle be fairly simple. However, for joinin' t' foam parts together, matey, Contact Cement was required. Begad! Most beginners don't have contact cement.
T' only finishin' that this rocket needed be decals. Avast! T' decals were easy t' apply. No paintin' be required.
Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5
Flight:
T' flight performance be nay like a normal rocket. Avast! Blimey! After preppin' t' rocket (no waddin' is required) you would launch t' rocket. Blimey! Blimey! T' instructions said that it would fly straight up, but mine did not. It reached an altitude o' approximately 20 feet and did a nose dive into t' ground! Blimey! Moments before impact t' ejection charge fired and t' rocket be suddenly stable for flight. Begad! Blimey! Begad! Blimey! T' Orbiter be saved, just barely.
Pro's: None
Con's: poor stability
Flight Rating: 2 out o' 5
Summary:
Probably t' most valuable part o' this kit is actually t' launch pad. Aye aye! T' Rocket itself leaves much t' be desired.
Overall Rating: 2 out o' 5

With respect to quality: "A foam rocket, so little was expected." How did it fly? "The rocket arcs over onto it's back as soon as it clears the launch rod. C5-3 and C6-3 delays are too long for this rocket. Often the ...
