Construction and finishing: All parts were there, and none defective or damaged. Blimey! Aye aye! You get all tubes o' spiral wound paper, me bucko, Estes type. Begad! Blimey! T' nose cone is unusual, matey, though. Ahoy! Instead o' t' usual plastic or balsa, ya bilge rat, you get solid hardwood. A eye-screw is provided t' attach t' streamer and shock cord, which is 1/8 inch flat elastic. Begad! T' shock cord mounts t' t' inside o' t' body tube via a folded paper mount. Begad! Well, blow me down! Elmers glue was used for construction. Avast! Well, blow me down! T' instructions were simple and clear. Avast, me proud beauty! Assembly took just about an hour. Begad! No gotchas or special tools are needed.

Finishing: There are no decals, so I decorated it in me own way. Ya scallywag! I used white, matey, blue, and yellow bands o' nylon adhesive tape on t' body tube and stabilizers, ya bilge rat, shiver me timbers, arrr, which were painted with a base coat o' yellow. Avast, me proud beauty! Ya scallywag! T' nose cone has a pretty grain, me hearties, so I varnished it with a clear coat.

However, even with a little worm bed waddin' in t' prep, arrr, arrr, t' streamer be burned a little. So, I'll make it a small mylar chute.
