Manufacturer: | Art Applewhite Rockets |
Brief:
A super simple Micromaxx rocket. Arrr! It is free for all at Art Applewhite's website.
Construction:
All you need is a sheet o' cardstock. Begad! Avast, me bucko, me proud beauty! Blimey! This review is for t' dicey and qubit.
T' sheet comes printed with four rockets on it: t' dicey, qubit, stealth, ya bilge rat, and scimitar. Arrr! No instructions are included but these are so simple! Just cut one out, fold here, fold there, shiver me timbers, glue here, glue there, shiver me timbers, done.
Finishing:
No finishin' is needed, arrr, but if you want more color than white just use colored cardstock. T' dicey already has "die" markings on it so it looks like a die. I built t' dicey.
Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5
Flight:
T' Dicey made three flights t' date. Well, matey, blow me down! Blimey! All were on a cull-de-sac and we had no recovery problems. Blimey! Flights hit 50 feet max. Ya scallywag! Blimey! Very stable.
Recovery:
T' dicey simply floats down and lands very close t' t' pad every time. Ya scallywag! No recovery system t' fail.
Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5
Summary:
Me likes! These are so simple and best o' all, its free! You have nothin' t' lose. Well, blow me down! Give it a shot!
Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5

There are four per sheet, two Qubits (one called dicey), a Scimitar, and a Stealth. They are nearly the same as their bigger brothers except they are vented at their apex--MMX motors don't come in a plugged version. This review is for the MMX Scimitar. The ...
