I like this kit. Well, blow me down! It is extremely easy t' construct, yet is very attractive and sturdy. T' through-the-wall fins reached t' t' motor mount per t' instructions, which are precise. Ya scallywag! I added a Keelhaul®©™ cord, arrr, tied t' t' motor mount, in lieu o' t' Estes shock mount. Begad! I did decide t' build this one stock and maybe another one in t' future with a 24mm mount. Ahoy! I used 5 minute epoxy throughout. Avast, me proud beauty! Avast! T' only other deviation I made was t' add a 3/16" launch lug, matey, next t' t' supplied 1/8" lug. Blimey! I painted and [put on the] decals mine just like on t' box which is nay t' norm for me (but I thought it looked good that way). Avast, me proud beauty! I recommend this model for everyone.

Estes' instructions were very good, however, it appears that the motor tube has been shortened since the illustrations were drawn. They show a three inch tube. The included tube measured 2 3/4 inches, and as a ...
