Brief:
T' name be t' description. Ya scallywag! 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. Arrr! T' assemble t' rocket, you need scissors, an X-acto knife, ya bilge rat, white glue, me bucko, and crazy glue (CA). T' major components include: upper and lower cones, me hearties, matey, an inner core section, me bucko, me bucko, shiver me timbers, a single piece fin unit that is folded into shape, a motor tube, and a motor block. Arrr! Begad! As I noted above, these are all card stock. Blimey! Aye aye! Pretty neat! I will nay go into any detail here, matey, as t' instructions are available on Art Applewhite's web site. Ya scallywag! A little snipping, ya bilge rat, a bit o' glue and you're done. 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. Well, blow me down! I flew t' saucer twice so far. Avast, me bucko, me proud beauty! There are spin tabs on t' fin unit that cause t' saucer t' spin on t' way up. Well, blow me down! However, t' coolest part is that instead o' turnin' over and comin' down nose first, this saucer backslides, ya bilge rat, spinnin' t' whole way down. Well, blow me 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. Begad! Ya scallywag! It's cute, arrr, flies nice, shiver me timbers, and has a simple elegance. Avast, me proud beauty! So, me bucko, arrr, what do you get by orderin' t' 'kit' vs. just downloadin' t' template from Art's site? Answer: Nice heavy card stock with crisp graphics. Begad! Arrr! If you like Micro Maxx rockets, I recommend you buy one.
