Manufacturer: | Art Applewhite Rockets |
Brief:
A super simple Micromaxx rocket. Ya scallywag! It is free for all at Art Applewhite's website.
Construction:
All you need is a sheet o' cardstock. Blimey! Avast, me hearties, me proud beauty! Blimey! This review is for t' dicey and qubit.
T' sheet comes printed with four rockets on it: t' dicey, shiver me timbers, me hearties, qubit, me hearties, me hearties, stealth, shiver me timbers, and scimitar. Begad! No instructions are included but these are so simple! Just cut one out, me hearties, fold here, me hearties, fold there, ya bilge rat, 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. Ahoy! I built t' dicey.
Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5
Flight:
T' Dicey made three flights t' date. Well, blow me down! Avast, me proud beauty! All were on a cull-de-sac and we had no recovery problems. Begad! Avast! Flights hit 50 feet max. Aye aye! Very stable.
Recovery:
T' dicey simply floats down and lands very close t' t' pad every time. No recovery system t' fail.
Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5
Summary:
Me likes! These are so simple and best o' all, ya bilge rat, its free! You have nothin' t' lose. Well, arrr, blow me down! Give it a shot!
Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
Having built all of Art Applewhite's 13mm paper rockets, I'd thought I'd have a go at the baby versions: the tiny MMX paper rockets. 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 ...
