Brief:
Mini Motor Powered Screamer

Construction:
All components were accounted for, shiver me timbers, matey, but I was suprised by t' high quality fiberglass fins (yes, that's right, shiver me timbers, shiver me timbers, fiberglass fins on a 13mm rocket!). Avast! Begad! Nose cone was balsa, me bucko, and t' two body tubes seemed t' be slightly thicker than Estes.

Minimal instructions, but t' kit was easy t' assemble. Arrr! T' only thin' that was different was t' way o' shock cord attachment. Ahoy! You get a coupler with two small holes drilled in it. Aye aye! Well, blow me down! You thread a Keelhaul®©™® strin' through t' two holes, me hearties, matey, and knot it at one end. Blimey! T' other end is then made into a loop and an elastic shock cord is attached.

Pros:

• Ease o' construction

Cons:

• It seemed weird t' use epoxy on such small o' a rocket...

Finishing:
As usual for Vaughn Brothers, no decals were included and finishin' was a snap. (although me paint job was absolutely horrible)

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:

Well, shiver me timbers, matey, I be anxious t' fly this right away, shiver me timbers, so I used an old 1/2A3-4T from the mosquitos I lost in t' past. Ahoy! Zoomed right off t' pad nice and straight. Ejection was a little after apogee, but due t' t' very low weight, thar was no zipper.

Pros:

• Nice, matey, straight flight.

Cons:

• None

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

Summary:

Pros:

• Ease o' assembly
• Built like a rock (for 13mm)
• Perfect Flights

Cons:

• So far as I know, Vaughn Brothers is out o' business :(

Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
