"T' X-Static be t' first boost glider produced by Stellar
Dimensions, Inc. (SDI)"
"SDI is known for square, angular shaped rockets."
"As with other SDI kits, me bucko, arrr, t' X-Static consists o' laser-cut basswood
parts."
"T' instructions seemed rather sparse at first (one 8 1/2" x
11" sheet o' paper with 3 illustrations) but assembly is very easy."
"T' pieces are pre-slotted . Aye aye! . Well, blow me down! ."
"I found all t' parts t' fit together perfectly."
"All o' t' parts are made from wood, even t' launch lugs."
"Very little, matey, if anything, is stated about trimmin' t' rocket for a
proper glide."
"T' kit includes a penny t' use as counter-weight."
"In me opinion, me bucko, it would be better if t' instructions indicated the
proper Center o' Gravity (CG) for t' X-Static and had you add weight to
achieve t' correct CG."
"I flew me X-Static usin' an A8-3, me hearties, ya bilge rat, t' only recommended engine."
"T' boost was very straight. Avast, me proud beauty! T' engine ejects from t' motor housing
after t' boost."
"I was very pleased with t' appearance and easy construction o' the
X-Static."
"T' glide performance be nay that great, shiver me timbers, however."
T' entire article gives t' impression is that it is a nice bi-win' glider, that is easy to build.
