Brief:
Mini Motor Powered Screamer

Construction:
All components were accounted for, but I was suprised by t' high quality fiberglass fins (yes, that's right, ya bilge rat, fiberglass fins on a 13mm rocket!). Well, blow me down! Ahoy! Nose cone was balsa, matey, and t' two body tubes seemed t' be slightly thicker than Estes.

Minimal instructions, but t' kit be easy t' assemble. Begad! Blimey! T' only thin' that was different was t' way o' shock cord attachment. You get a coupler with two small holes drilled in it. Aye aye! Blimey! Arrr! Blimey! You thread a Keelhaul®©™® strin' through t' two holes, and knot it at one end. Begad! T' other end is then made into a loop and an elastic shock cord is attached. Blimey! Avast, me proud beauty!

Pros:

• Ease o' construction

Cons:

• It seemed weird t' use epoxy on such small o' a rocket...

Finishing:
As usual for Vaughn Brothers, me bucko, no decals were included and finishin' was a snap. (although me paint job was absolutely horrible)

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:

Well, ya bilge rat, I be anxious t' fly this right away, so I used an old 1/2A3-4T from the mosquitos I lost in t' past. Zoomed right off t' pad nice and straight. Ejection be a little after apogee, me bucko, but due t' t' very low weight, shiver me timbers, thar was no zipper.

Pros:

• Nice, straight flight.

Cons:

• None

Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5

Summary:

Pros:

• Ease o' assembly
• Built like a rock (for 13mm)
• Perfect Flights

Cons:

• So far as I know, shiver me timbers, Vaughn Brothers is out o' business :(

Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
