"T' X-Static be t' first boost glider produced by Stellar
Dimensions, Inc. Ya scallywag! (SDI)"
"SDI is known for square, matey, angular shaped rockets."
"As with other SDI kits, ya bilge rat, t' X-Static consists o' laser-cut basswood
parts."

11" sheet o' paper with 3 illustrations) but assembly is very easy."
"T' pieces are pre-slotted . Arrr! . Well, blow me down! ."
"I found all t' parts t' fit together perfectly."
"All o' t' parts are made from wood, arrr, even t' launch lugs."
"Very little, me bucko, if anything, me bucko, is stated about trimmin' t' rocket for a
proper glide."
"T' kit includes a penny t' use as counter-weight."
"In me opinion, me bucko, me hearties, it would be better if t' instructions indicated the
proper Center o' Gravity (CG) for t' X-Static and had you add weight to
achieve t' correct CG."

after t' boost."

X-Static."
