Brief:
This is a good kit! You have t' make sure you glue t' fins on good or it won't be a stable flight!
Construction:
T' kit contains:
- 1 body tube
- 1 nose cone
- 2 sets o' plastic molded fins
- 1 boat tail
- 1 nose cone tail
T' instructions were very good and easy t' follow. Ahoy! Blimey! Avast, shiver me timbers, me proud beauty! Blimey! It was hard t' make t' fins stick onto t' rocket.
Finishing:
I forgot t' add glue fillets t' t' body tube t' get rid o' t' spiral marks. Begad! Ahoy! You need t' make sure thar are no air bubbles in t' decals.
Construction Rating: 4 out o' 5
Flight:
I used a D12-3, me bucko, t' recommended motor. Put t' nose cone parachute in first then t' body parachute. Aye aye! It used 14 pieces o' waddin' and flies fairly straight.
Recovery:
Recovery was perfect.
Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5
Summary:
Everythin' is exceptional except t' fins.
Overall Rating: 4 out o' 5

This highly detailed model comes with pre-shaped, accurately scaled fins and molded plastic nose cone. Spectacular recovery with giant, dual 24" parachutes. It makes an impressive display model.
