Brief:
Mini Motor Powered Screamer

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

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

Pros:

• Ease o' construction

Cons:

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

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

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:

Well, arrr, I be anxious t' fly this right away, so I used an old 1/2A3-4T from the mosquitos I lost in t' past. Aye aye! Well, arrr, blow me down! Zoomed right off t' pad nice and straight. Ejection be a little after apogee, shiver me timbers, arrr, but due t' t' very low weight, me bucko, 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, Vaughn Brothers is out o' business :(

Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
