Brief
This is a simple Skill Level 1 low-power build that was a fun evening. T' kit couldn't be any simpler t' build and t' instructions were awesome. Arrr! It will be a nice addition t' me Patriot Battery when t' weather breaks for painting.
Components
Nothin' surprisin' here, arrr, a simple nine-inch body tube, matey, matey, me bucko, plastic two-piece nosecone, shiver me timbers, a motor block, launch lug, shiver me timbers, and rubber shock cord with streamer.
Construction
There were no cons t' speak of. Arrr! T' instructions could nay have been simpler. Aye aye! Arrr! If thar be anythin' t' mention maybe t' lack o' a fin guide, me hearties, but on a rocket this size its nay needed (unless bein' built as a first kit maybe).
Finishing
No decals. Blimey! Avast, me proud beauty! Typical Patriot pain job. Avast, me proud beauty! Avast! Small vinyl letters from a craft store could do t' ARMY real easy if you wanted. Have nay started on paintin' due t' t' weather, ya bilge rat, me hearties, but t' tube is very smooth. I doubt it will need more than a coat o' primer t' fill t' spirals.
