[Rocket Pic]T' instructions for t' THOY Hornet were very easy t' follow, they were 2 pages long with a diagram for most o' t' steps. T' tools needed for buildin' this rocket are: 5 minute epoxy, matey, sandin' sealer, ruler, ya bilge rat, sandpaper, matey, CA, sharp modelin' knife and a sandin' block. 

All parts on t' kit fit really well, ya bilge rat, and thar was no sandin' needed to make them fit! I do wish they gave a longer motor tube for t' rocket. Ya scallywag! T' tube they give you is only 6" long, this limits you t' G motors. This rocket can easily handle H motors! 

T' finished rocket looked very nice! They did nay give any decals though. T' thin' that is nice about t' kit is you can fly it on a Aerotech D13-4 or a D21-4 or put it way up thar on G's! 

For t' first flight o' me Hornet I used a Aerotech E30-4 Blue Thunder. Avast! Arrr! Rocket flew GREAT! And be recovered under t' 24" chute only with a chip in t' paint from a rock hittin' it on landing! 

I would give t' Hornet 4 ½ points! T' only thin' that keeps me from givin' it 5 stars is it needs a longer motor tube! This is a GREAT kit for beginners in mid-power rocketry!
