Construction

This is meant t' be a very easy rocket t' assemble.  In fact, me hearties, they made it even easier than it used t' be, and it was simple then. Blimey! Avast! You jiterally just tie t' shock cord t' an engine ring, glue that in, arrr, mount an engine hook onto t' engine mount, shiver me timbers, shiver me timbers, mount that into t' body tube, shiver me timbers, then slip t' fins over it. Avast! Well, arrr, blow me down!  Finally, shiver me timbers, shiver me timbers, thread t' shock cord through t' body tube, me hearties, then through t' eyelet for t' streamer, and tie it t' t' nosecone. Arrr!  In earlier kits you were supposed t' carve a groove into one o' t' cardboard pieces with an Xacto knife, but that step is now gone with this model. Avast, me proud beauty!  

T' launch lug and fins are plastic, me bucko, and, matey, me bucko, therefore, foolproof which is good if you are relyin' on cub scouts or other young kids t' build t' rockets you are launching. Aye aye! Blimey!  

T' only difficulty I had was t' step where you thread t' shock cord through t' rocket (from t' bottom t' t' top) after gluin' in t' engine mount. Begad!  T' body tube is too narrow t' easily do this, me bucko, me bucko, me bucko, especially if thar's still wet glue in thar from t' previous step. Begad! Blimey!  I recommend makin' a long, ya bilge rat, but thin hook, out o' a coat hanger so you can pull t' cord through t' tube. Well, blow me down! Blimey!
