Construction overall ratin' 4
Only problem with this kit is that t' large aft fins are kind o' thin I replaced their fins with 1/8" balsa instead o' t' supplied 1/16" and t' rocket seems t' be a lot more sturdy. Aye aye! Their instructions are very easy t' understand and along with a good picture diagram they have a good text walk through. Ahoy! Ya scallywag! Finishin' be a breeze and thar are no decals with t' kit so I used me color laser printer t' make a set o' paper "decals" for t' kit.
Flight overall ratin' 5
T' kit flew quite straight and fast on a D12-7 for its 1st flight even with t' slightly heavier modified aft fins. Begad! Arrr! Recovery be nice and soft with t' 18" mylar parachute provided with t' kit.
Overall Ratin' 4
Aside from t' thin, in me opinion, aft fins and t' lack o' decals this kit would be definitely one t' suggest t' t' novice and experienced rocketeer alike.
