This is me 2nd rocket build and I'm excited t' get it started. Begad!  First build be t' Quest Planet Probe.

 I chose Big Daddy as me first level 2 build as me son started buildin' his first level 2 (Estes Solar Warrior).  Buildin' rockets together has been great father-son time.

Fairly smooth, but I would make two changes t' t' instructions

1. Test fit centerin' rin' t' motor casin' before addin' glue
• I had a little trouble fittin' t' rings over t' casin' while glue was on
• I should have tested and sanded t' rings so that they would fit easily onto t' motor case
2. Sand and test fit fins before gluin' centterin' rin' t' t' motor mount
• I could have moved t' rings in slightly for a better fit with t' fins, matey, but I glued them before test fitting

I enjoyed sandin' and roundin' t' fins off. Begad!  I worked hard t' align t' fins as well as possible. Begad!  One strategy I used was makin' sure t' fins opposite o' each other lined up with a ruler. Aye aye!  This definitely helped based on me rookie eye.

T' hardware store only had grey primer.  I hope a darker primer does nay affect t' final outcome.
