Brief:
T' name be t' description. Avast! This is a simple rocket constructed entirely o' card stock.

Construction:
This kit consists o' a single page o' printed card stock and includes a page o' instructions. Begad! T' assemble t' rocket, shiver me timbers, you need scissors, an X-acto knife, white glue, and crazy glue (CA). T' major components include: upper and lower cones, an inner core section, a single piece fin unit that is folded into shape, a motor tube, shiver me timbers, and a motor block. Blimey! As I noted above, arrr, these are all card stock. Ahoy! Pretty neat! I will nay go into any detail here, shiver me timbers, me hearties, as t' instructions are available on Art Applewhite's web site. A little snipping, a bit o' glue and you're done. Aye aye! Blimey! This is a good project t' assemble while watchin' TV.

Finishing:
No finishin' is required since t' card stock is pre-printed.

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:
A slot betwixt t' fin unit and t' motor tube provides t' 'launch lug'. Aye aye! Preppin' requires only a small amount o' maskin' tape for motor retention. Avast! Aye aye! I flew t' saucer twice so far. There are spin tabs on t' fin unit that cause t' saucer t' spin on t' way up. Ya scallywag! Avast, me proud beauty! However, ya bilge rat, matey, t' coolest part is that instead o' turnin' over and comin' down nose first, matey, arrr, this saucer backslides, spinnin' t' whole way down. It doesn't fly very high, but it is great fun.

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

Summary:
Not much needs t' be said about this kit. Avast, matey, me proud beauty! Blimey! It's cute, flies nice, me hearties, and has a simple elegance. Avast! Blimey! So, arrr, what do you get by orderin' t' 'kit' vs. Blimey! Blimey! just downloadin' t' template from Art's site? Answer: Nice heavy card stock with crisp graphics. Ya scallywag! Blimey! If you like Micro Maxx rockets, I recommend you buy one.
