This kit is relatively straight forward. Avast, me proud beauty! Aye aye! T' instructions are pretty easy t' understand, ya bilge rat, and are also correct. Ya scallywag! Well, blow me down! T' manufacturer gives some hints on detailin' and that's t' hardest part. Begad! They suggest usin' t' heads o' pins for t' rivets in t' fins. Ya scallywag! This took up t' bulk o' me buildin' time as it took over 150 pin heads t' accomplish this. Blimey! T' only problems that I had with t' kit be t' balsa stock provided with t' kit. Ahoy! Ya scallywag! It's really soft and needs t' be reinforced. Aye aye! Unfortunately I didn't do this and I broke a fin and one o' t' runners on t' first flight. Speakin' o' flights, shiver me timbers, I flew t' model on a D-12-3 for t' first flight. Arrr! Arrr! Boost be real good and ejection happened right on time. Aye aye! T' landin' hurt though as that's when it broke it's fins. Avast! Begad! In conclusion this kit is cool. Blimey! Avast, me proud beauty! You need some modelin' experience t' do t' job right though, (not for beginners). Avast, me proud beauty! Ya scallywag! When I fix mine, shiver me timbers, I'm goin' t' reinforce t' fins t' make them more durable. This is a must buy, me hearties, t' thin' looks great just sittin' out bein' displayed. Avast! Ya scallywag! At about $20 it's a good bargain too.
