Construction:
This rocket goes up in one part and comes down in two. Avast! Blimey! T' Orbiter glides down while t' power pod comes down on a parachute.

T' assembly for t' Space Shuttle be fairly simple. Aye aye! However, ya bilge rat, matey, for joinin' t' foam parts together, Contact Cement was required. Arrr! Avast, ya bilge rat, me proud beauty! Most beginners don't have contact cement.

T' only finishin' that this rocket needed was decals. T' decals were easy t' apply. Avast! Blimey! No paintin' be required.

Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5

Flight:
T' flight performance be nay like a normal rocket. After preppin' t' rocket (no waddin' is required) you would launch t' rocket. Begad! T' instructions said that it would fly straight up, but mine did not. Aye aye! It reached an altitude o' approximately 20 feet and did a nose dive into t' ground! Moments before impact t' ejection charge fired and t' rocket was suddenly stable for flight. Blimey! T' Orbiter was saved, me bucko, matey, just barely.

Pro's: None

Con's: poor stability

Flight Rating: 2 out o' 5

Summary:
Probably t' most valuable part o' this kit is actually t' launch pad. T' Rocket itself leaves much t' be desired.

Overall Rating: 2 out o' 5
