Brief:
This rocket was a bargain. Begad! Avast! My wife got it for me on he clearance rack for $.99. I be disappointed, arrr, at first, since t' entire rocket is made o' painted construction paper except for t' nose cone and engine mount.

Construction:
This kit included a paper shroud body, matey, plastic nose cone and cockpit. Blimey! Aye aye! Fins are paper also. Begad! There is a streamer include in kit and it is used t' recover t' ejectin' engine.

Quest has good detailed instructions. Arrr! Arrr! This kit was a snap t' put together. Just assemble t' engine mount, glue on t' nose cone and wrap t' pre-painted body shroud around it. Well, blow me down! I used wood glue for all t' paper parts, arrr, matey, that way I didn't have t' waste a lot o' time tryin' t' hold t' shroud together. Avast! I did experience some confusion on how t' mount t' streamer retainer. Avast, me proud beauty! In t' end I glued t' piece o' paper I cut out t' t' back end o' t' streamer retention tube. Avast! Arrr! I figured that way t' ejection charge would blow t' spent engine out and carry t' streamer out t' aft (bottom) o' t' streamer retention tube. BTW t' engine is attached t' t' streamer by maskin' tape...it worked.

Finishing:
There is really nay much t' say about finishin' it is a pre-printed shroud that is supposed t' look futuristic. Avast, me proud beauty! You can paint t' cockpit whatever color you like. Avast, me proud beauty! I painted mine black.

Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5

Flight:
I used an A8-3 for t' only flight. This be t' interestin' part and any comments would be welcome. Avast! I fired t' rocket and it did a couple loop-de-loops and ejected t' charge and fell t' t' earth. Avast! Nay stable. Avast, me proud beauty! Perhaps a bigger engine. Avast! Blimey! T' rocket was supposed t' go up fire out t' engine with t' streamer attached so it wouldn't bonk anyone in t' head and then glide back t' t' ground. Probably need t' experiment with this one more.

Flight Rating: 1 out o' 5

Summary:
This turned out t' be a cute little rocket. Blimey! Blimey! I nice flight would have really enhanced t' $.99 deal. Begad! Blimey! But as it was I felt like nothin' gained nothin' ventured.
