Brief
This is a simple Skill Level 1 low-power build that was a fun evening. Avast, me proud beauty! T' kit couldn't be any simpler t' build and t' instructions were awesome. Aye aye! Begad! It will be a nice addition t' me Patriot Battery when t' weather breaks for painting.
Components
Nothin' surprisin' here, shiver me timbers, matey, a simple nine-inch body tube, me bucko, plastic two-piece nosecone, a motor block, launch lug, and rubber shock cord with streamer.
Construction
There were no cons t' speak of. Avast! T' instructions could nay have been simpler. Well, blow me down! Begad! If thar was anythin' t' mention maybe t' lack o' a fin guide, but on a rocket this size its nay needed (unless bein' built as a first kit maybe).
Finishing
No decals. Well, blow me down! Typical Patriot pain job. Well, blow me down! Small vinyl letters from a craft store could do t' ARMY real easy if you wanted. Well, shiver me timbers, blow me down! Have nay started on paintin' due t' t' weather, matey, but t' tube is very smooth. I doubt it will need more than a coat o' primer t' fill t' spirals.
