Brief:
Mini Motor Powered Screamer

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

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

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' be a snap. (although me paint job was absolutely horrible)

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:

Well, I was 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. Arrr! Zoomed right off t' pad nice and straight. Ejection was a little after apogee, ya bilge rat, shiver me timbers, but due t' t' very low weight, thar was no zipper.

Pros:

• Nice, 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
