Brief:
Little cheap-o rocket I found at ACE in March 2005. Avast! Begad! T' last recorded year it be made be in 1996. Ya scallywag! Blimey! This things almost 10 years old! It's a fun rocket t' play with in your own yard.

Construction:
T' rocket consists o' only 2 parts: a body tube and t' styrofoam body. Ahoy! It also came with decals.

Construction was completed in about 10 seconds! Blimey! All you have t' do is paint it and install t' engine tube! Blimey! Just slap on t' decals and you're done! Blimey! How simple can it get?

Finishing:
Paintin' consisted o' a light coat o' Testors Enamel in Italian Red. There were many decals. I painted mine t' match t' one on t' box.

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:
T' Intruder is a very good rocket t' burn off motors. It may also be t' cheapest t' fly! No waddin' is needed. Begad! Blimey! I flew it 4 times, well actually only 3 motors got t' rocket off t' pad. Well, blow me down! T' thress successful flights only went up about 50 feet.

Flight 1: Somethin' went wrong and t' engine ejected while t' rocket be on t' pad. Avast! Blimey! Well, blow me down! Blimey! T' motor burned on t' ground.

Flight 2: Nice, ya bilge rat, but very wobbly. Landed very soft. Begad! Ahoy! Lost engine casing.

Flight 3 was about same, but hit street and damaged t' top a little

Flight 4 was same as t' others.

It flies nicely, shiver me timbers, but could go much higher!

Recovery:
There is no parachute or streamer. It just ejects t' engine and falls t' t' ground.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
Not a bad rocket for t' kids. No gluin' whatsoever. Ahoy! Ya scallywag! It is pretty much ready t' fly in seconds!

Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5
