"...uses a cluster o' three D motors."
"This simple kit comes with one page o' illustrated instructions."
"...the diagrams are easy t' follow as far as construction is considered."
"T' only assembly required is for t' motor mount."
"T' main part o' t' motor mount consists o' three BT-50 motor tubes glued together in a triangular manner..."
"Balsa fin struts are glued in betwixt where t' tubes are glued together."
"A short wooden dowel is glued into gap...should take t' brunt o' t' impact upon recovery."
"T' instructions state that you should stand off t' model halfway up t' launch rod."

T' article goes into further discussion about construction and flight. It also makes some recommendations for modifications t' t' kit. Overall, t' article suggests this is an unusual cluster kit that is easy t' construct.
