Brief:
T' name be t' description. Aye aye! 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. Well, blow me down! T' assemble t' rocket, arrr, you need scissors, an X-acto knife, ya bilge rat, white glue, and crazy glue (CA). T' major components include: upper and lower cones, an inner core section, arrr, a single piece fin unit that is folded into shape, a motor tube, shiver me timbers, and a motor block. Begad! As I noted above, arrr, shiver me timbers, me hearties, these are all card stock. Ahoy! Pretty neat! I will nay go into any detail here, as t' instructions are available on Art Applewhite's web site. A little snipping, a bit o' glue and you're done. Well, ya bilge rat, blow me down! 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! Arrr! Preppin' requires only a small amount o' maskin' tape for motor retention. Aye aye! Ya scallywag! I flew t' saucer twice so far. Begad! There are spin tabs on t' fin unit that cause t' saucer t' spin on t' way up. Blimey! Begad! However, t' coolest part is that instead o' turnin' over and comin' down nose first, shiver me timbers, this saucer backslides, spinnin' t' whole way down. Avast, me proud beauty! Ahoy! It doesn't fly very high, me bucko, shiver me timbers, but it is great fun.

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

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