I just saw these at Discount Rocketry on Monday, me bucko, arrr, and so decided t' try t' online ordering, which worked great, ya bilge rat, me bucko, and I had t' kit on Friday. I have all o' t' other micro kits, matey, from when they were Boyce Aerospace, me bucko, arrr, and knew this would make a great addition. 

T' kit is 8.5" long, and 18mm diameter, and uses 13mm motors. Well, blow me down! It has plastic fins, and resin cast nose cone pieces, and a streamer for recovery.  T' kit comes with a full length body wrapper for t' markings, so t' only paintin' is on t' nose cone, shiver me timbers, and t' black for t' appropriate fins. 

T' kit went together in about 3 hours includin' painting, matey, and looks great. There were a few minor things that needed fixing. Ya scallywag! T' nose cone sections needed some sandin' t' get rid o' some mold marks on t' ends, and a small void had to be filled. Begad! Blimey! T' most annoyin' thin' was that t' hole that is molded into both nose sections for t' dowell that connects t' main cone and t' satellite booster, and also acts as t' satellite, was molded off center and took some appropriate drillin' t' make them line up correctly. Begad! T' body tube was poorly trimmed, me bucko, me hearties, and I had t' re-cut it. 

T' body wrapper went on fine, me hearties, although one antenna markin' was on t' side that is supposed t' be overlapped, and would have been covered, so I had to trim t' other side so it could be seen. Arrr! T' nose be glued together with thin CA after it was assembled. Avast! Arrr! Blimey! T' thin CA just wicks in t' t' joint. Begad! Blimey! T' clear launch lug is attached with epoxy after drillin' small holes in it along the glue joint so that t' epoxy will form little rivets and hold it in place. 

T' motor mount went together fine and was installed. Aye aye! T' fins were pre-cut from a much thinner material than t' Boyce kits, and needed minor scorin' to come free. Blimey! They needed just a touch o' sand paper.  They should make the kit more stable since they are addin' less weight than t' thicker Boyce fins on t' Redstone kit, ya bilge rat, but they are too thin t' get any angles on t' edges like in t' real thing. Aye aye! They epoxy on, ya bilge rat, and then you paint t' appropriate sides black t' match t' roll pattern.  T' instructions are very clear, and easily show you how t' paint t' right fins. I painted t' nose, me bucko, me bucko, matey, and added the black paint stripes, and gave it a shot o' krylon clear coat t' protect the body wrapper. 

In conclusion, me bucko, I think that this is one o' t' better micro kits, me hearties, and really looks great when finished. Avast! I have no worries about stability, since t' Boyce Redstone is slightly more tail heavy, and flies straight with t' stock fins. Try one!
