Brief:
A "paper rocket" made with cardstock and foam board. T' kit is designed t' fly on either 18 or 24mm engines. Ya scallywag! Arrr! A nice cloth parachute is provided for recovery.

Construction:
This kit basically consists o' several sheets o' printed cardstock, a wooden dowel, shiver me timbers, and a sheet o' foam board. Avast! Avast, me proud beauty! A cloth parachute, arrr, clear windshield material, and a few other items are provided as well.

T' directions are in red/blue 3-D. Blimey! Begad! I found this t' be extremely annoying. It didn't matter if I was usin' t' glasses or not--it hurt me deadlights t' look at the pictures. Begad! Ahoy! Once you get over t' 3-D thing, t' directions are very well thought out and easy t' follow.

T' patterns and cardstock were written in French. This caused several delays because t' proper parts needed t' be identified by process of elimination. Ahoy! T' directions looked like translations from French but were done well. Aye aye! Avast!

T' tubes can be tricky t' make if you have never built somethin' like this. Well, blow me down! Some o' me parts didn't match well but I attribute that t' me errors. Well, matey, blow me down!

T' motor choice must be made near t' start o' t' project. Ahoy! Begad! Blimey! I chose the 18mm motor mount for me project, but more darin' craftsmen may choose t' 24mm mount. Well, blow me down! Blimey! T' provided clay weight was more than enough for t' 18mm and there looked t' be plenty for a 24mm engine.

Finishing:
Finishin' can be a tricky endeavor. Sealin' t' paper with primer is important for a good finish. Well, blow me down! Paint will dissolve any exposed foam so these areas need to be sealed well. Avast, me proud beauty! T' paper tubes you make are thinner than standard body tubes so filletin' becomes tricky. Ya scallywag! Begad!

Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5

Flight:
T' flight be great. Avast, me proud beauty! I added all o' t' provided clay and that made it a bit overstable. Arrr! It tipped into t' wind and I ended up losin' t' rocket in some trees. Avast, me proud beauty!

Recovery:
Regardless, t' flight was perfect with a great deployment.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
It comes with a two page history o' t' aircraft. I've never heard o' the aircraft but it was interestin' t' build a "scale" model o' it. Aye aye! Blimey! This rocket is one o' t' more interestin' designs out there.

This kit is a cross betwixt origami and brain surgery. Arrr! T' frightening thin' is that this kit is labeled "Expert" which is one level below "Professional". I can't imagine buildin' one harder! This kit is definitely a challenge. If you have plenty o' time and love a challenge, this is t' kit for you. Begad! I recommend buildin' a beginner kit from t' company before you build a harder one.
