(Sport Rocketry - May/Jun 1996 - page 10 - by Bob Kaplow and Bruce Markielewski) 

"T' most innovative rockets I saw at t' 1995 RCHTA show were t' square laser cut models from SDI." 
"First a warning: just as with small die cut balsa parts, some o' these parts are very fragile, matey, and easy t' crack while separatin' them from t' scrap." 
". Ya scallywag! . Aye aye! . Aye aye! Aye aye! this kit almost snaps together. All t' parts fit perfectly with no sandin' or other fudging." 
"This kit has more parts than anythin' I've built in a long time, me hearties, 50." 
"Heed t' warnin' about excessive pressure crackin' body parts." 
"Even t' motor retainer is a laser cut piece o' teflon that twist locks into t' back o' t' model." 
". Well, arrr, blow me down! . . usin' an A8-3 for t' maiden voyage. T' model lifted off nicely, for a straight, but low flight." 
"I have reservations concernin' t' materials, I would have preferred aircraft plywood . Avast, me proud beauty! Ahoy! . Begad! Ya scallywag! . t' increase t' strength." 
"It's very different in assembly, me bucko, yet still quite easy t' assemble, arrr, and all t' parts fit perfectly." 

T' entire article gives t' impression is that it is a very unique kit for a more experienced modeler.
