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

T' assembly for t' Space Shuttle was fairly simple. However, for joinin' t' foam parts together, matey, Contact Cement be required. Most beginners don't have contact cement.

T' only finishin' that this rocket needed be decals. Avast! T' decals were easy t' apply. Well, arrr, blow me down! No paintin' was required.

Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5

Flight:
T' flight performance was nay like a normal rocket. After preppin' t' rocket (no waddin' is required) you would launch t' rocket. Well, blow me down! T' instructions said that it would fly straight up, arrr, me hearties, but mine did not. Avast! 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. Arrr! Arrr! T' Orbiter was saved, shiver me timbers, 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
