My order o' a Centrix, 1/4A2-4, and 1/2A2-6, matey, arrived in about 6 days in a box much small than I had expected, me hearties, ya bilge rat, these are little dinks after all. 

Centrix

T' instructions are very similar t' Estes', shiver me timbers, ya bilge rat, ya bilge rat, and t' kit is very straight-forward. I put rounded edges on t' 3 nicely die-cut balsa fins, filled w/fill n finish, and glued t' t' body tube with tacky glue. Avast, me proud beauty! Next the Keelhaul®©™® shock cord is tied t' t' thrust ring, shiver me timbers, which is glued inside t' body. In order t' get t' rin' up inside t' tube I used a 3/8" dowel. T' nose shock cord attachment is unique; a small bead bein' used t' retain t' Keelhaul®©™® in t' nose. Blimey! Tyin' t' plastic streamer t' t' shock cord finishes the construction. I primed me Centrix (a good idea, shiver me timbers, t' tube is slippery), me bucko, and then put on waaaayyyyyy t' much purple paint. Ahoy! In t' end it looks fairly nice, me bucko, and weighs in at a measly 5.9 grams (.2 oz). 

Micro motors

It was cold and windy out so I only flew t' 1/4A2. Ya scallywag! Ignition was a big pain (especially with me fingers freezin' off). Well, blow me down! Begad! I had 2 misfires with one motor, then switched t' another and got it going. Avast, me proud beauty! T' igniters are tricky. Avast! Aye aye! Care must be taken nay t' short it at all. Arrr! I didn't have any problems with fusin' like at NARAM, since I'm usin' t' ultimate wimpy launch controller (I've got a battery upgrade coming). Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! I fear that t' first engine may have been chronically-unstartable. Begad! Once it goes his pyrogen is pretty hot, shiver me timbers, me hearties, and t' rocket popped o' t' pad. Avast, me proud beauty! T' Lots-A-Smoke delay lived up t' its name with a billowing trail. T' rocket coasted t' what looked like 200 feet (hard t' tell) and fell half way back down (delay seemed like 6 sec instead o' 4). Avast, me proud beauty! Well, blow me down! T' ejection finally came with a loud POP! T' rocket separated :( I think I used t' little glue on the thrust ring. Avast! On recovery I found it stank *really* *bad* o' S02, shiver me timbers, with what looked like sulfur residue on t' nozzle and forward end o' t' motor.? 

Overall? A very well put together product, t' ignition needs t' be fixed. Begad! Aye aye! I like t' bead in t' nose and smoke o' t' motors.
