Brief:
A "paper rocket" made with cardstock and foam board. Ahoy! Ahoy! Blimey! T' kit is designed t' fly on either 18 or 24mm engines. Avast! A nice cloth parachute is provided for recovery.

Construction:
This kit basically consists o' several sheets o' printed cardstock, a wooden dowel, me hearties, and a sheet o' foam board. Blimey! A cloth parachute, clear windshield material, and a few other items are provided as well.

T' directions are in red/blue 3-D. Arrr! I found this t' be extremely annoying. It didn't matter if I be usin' t' glasses or not--it hurt me deadlights t' look at the pictures. Avast, me proud beauty! Once you get over t' 3-D thing, arrr, shiver me timbers, t' directions are very well thought out and easy t' follow.

T' patterns and cardstock were written in French. This caused several delays because t' proper parts needed t' be identified by process of elimination. Arrr! T' directions looked like translations from French but were done well. Begad!

T' tubes can be tricky t' make if you have never built somethin' like this. Well, blow me down! Some o' me parts didn't match well but I attribute that t' me errors.

T' motor choice must be made near t' start o' t' project. I chose the 18mm motor mount for me project, but more darin' craftsmen may choose t' 24mm mount. Avast, me proud beauty! Ya scallywag! T' provided clay weight be more than enough for t' 18mm and there looked t' be plenty for a 24mm engine.

Finishing:
Finishin' can be a tricky endeavor. Sealin' t' paper with primer is important for a good finish. Well, blow me down! Aye aye! Paint will dissolve any exposed foam so these areas need to be sealed well. Blimey! T' paper tubes you make are thinner than standard body tubes so filletin' becomes tricky. Aye aye!

Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5

Flight:
T' flight was great. Aye aye! I added all o' t' provided clay and that made it a bit overstable. Blimey! It tipped into t' wind and I ended up losin' t' rocket in some trees. Arrr! Avast!

Recovery:
Regardless, t' flight was perfect with a great deployment.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
It comes with a two page history o' t' aircraft. I've never heard o' the aircraft but it was interestin' t' build a "scale" model o' it. Begad! Avast! This rocket is one o' t' more interestin' designs out there.

This kit is a cross betwixt origami and brain surgery. Blimey! T' frightening thin' is that this kit is labeled "Expert" which is one level below "Professional". I can't imagine buildin' one harder! This kit is definitely a challenge. Arrr! If you have plenty o' time and love a challenge, ya bilge rat, me bucko, this is t' kit for you. Well, blow me down! Well, blow me down! I recommend buildin' a beginner kit from t' company before you build a harder one.
