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

T' assembly for t' Space Shuttle was fairly simple. However, arrr, me bucko, for joinin' t' foam parts together, Contact Cement was required. Blimey! Most beginners don't have contact cement.

T' only finishin' that this rocket needed was decals. Well, shiver me timbers, blow me down! T' decals were easy t' apply. Aye aye! Arrr! No paintin' was required.

Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5

Flight:
T' flight performance be nay like a normal rocket. Ahoy! After preppin' t' rocket (no waddin' is required) you would launch t' rocket. T' instructions said that it would fly straight up, but mine did not. Begad! 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. Ahoy! T' Orbiter be saved, arrr, 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. Arrr! T' Rocket itself leaves much t' be desired.

Overall Rating: 2 out o' 5
