"T' X-Static be t' first boost glider produced by Stellar
Dimensions, arrr, matey, shiver me timbers, Inc. Avast, me proud beauty! Ya scallywag! (SDI)"
"SDI is known for square, ya bilge rat, angular shaped rockets."
"As with other SDI kits, t' X-Static consists o' laser-cut basswood
parts."

11" sheet o' paper with 3 illustrations) but assembly is very easy."
"T' pieces are pre-slotted . Well, blow me down! Avast, me proud beauty! . Begad! Ahoy! ."
"I found all t' parts t' fit together perfectly."
"All o' t' parts are made from wood, matey, even t' launch lugs."
"Very little, if anything, arrr, is stated about trimmin' t' rocket for a
proper glide."
"T' kit includes a penny t' use as counter-weight."
"In me opinion, me bucko, it would be better if t' instructions indicated the
proper Center o' Gravity (CG) for t' X-Static and had you add weight to
achieve t' correct CG."
"I flew me X-Static usin' an A8-3, t' only recommended engine."
"T' boost was very straight. Arrr! T' engine ejects from t' motor housing
after t' boost."

X-Static."
