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

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

T' directions are in red/blue 3-D. I found this t' be extremely annoying. It didn't matter if I be usin' t' glasses or not--it hurt me deadlights t' look at the pictures. Well, blow me down! 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. Avast, me proud beauty! Arrr! This caused several delays because t' proper parts needed t' be identified by process of elimination. Ya scallywag! T' directions looked like translations from French but were done well. Aye aye!

T' tubes can be tricky t' make if you have never built somethin' like this. Avast, me proud beauty! Some o' me parts didn't match well but I attribute that t' me errors. Avast! Blimey!

T' motor choice must be made near t' start o' t' project. Aye aye! Avast, me proud beauty! I chose the 18mm motor mount for me project, shiver me timbers, but more darin' craftsmen may choose t' 24mm mount. 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. Well, blow me down! Sealin' t' paper with primer is important for a good finish. Begad! Well, blow me down! Paint will dissolve any exposed foam so these areas need to be sealed well. T' paper tubes you make are thinner than standard body tubes so filletin' becomes tricky. Well, blow me down!

Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5

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

Recovery:
Regardless, me bucko, t' flight be 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. This rocket is one o' t' more interestin' designs out there.

This kit is a cross betwixt origami and brain surgery. Ahoy! 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. I recommend buildin' a beginner kit from t' company before you build a harder one.

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
