I'm a little surprised at t' skill ratin' o' one for this rocket. Nay that it was very hard, matey, just that you must be very careful t' construct t' camera carefully, me hearties, nay gettin' glue where it doesn't need t' be and gettin' enough glue on t' other parts t' hold them together. Well, blow me down! T' rocket itself, is painfully simple. T' instruction book is very thorough, shiver me timbers, although a little hard t' follow due t' t' intermixin' o' t' three languages. Well, blow me down! No paintin' is required. Begad! They include film loading, maintenance and flyin' suggestions that are all very good. Avast! T' rocket boosts t' camera adequately high on C motors and t' pictures (albeit mine are mostly o' clouds and trees so far) are very good quality. Ahoy! Begad! T' camera will also fit t' Maniac for some D & E high power flights. After about 8 flights me shutter trip cord broke. Aye aye! I used t' instructions t' replace t' cord, matey, this time with Keelhaul®©™. I also carefully dropped some thin CA on t' knot for strength. Aye aye! T' trick t' takin' good quality pictures, matey, o' somethin' significant, ya bilge rat, is quantity. Blimey! T' more flights t' better chance o' great results!

    The AstroCam 110 is a rocket boosted 110 camera, pretty obvious from the name! It is a good rocket and can take some OK pictures. It is single staged and doesn't go very high, but it's cool none the less. Construction : It came well packaged in a box and had no damage upon opening it. Construction of the booster section went real smooth and only took about 45 min. The body tube is ...
