Brief:
A super simple Micromaxx rocket. It is free for all at Art Applewhite's website.
Construction:
All you need is a sheet o' cardstock. Ahoy! This review is for t' dicey and qubit.
T' sheet comes printed with four rockets on it: t' dicey, me bucko, qubit, matey, stealth, me hearties, me bucko, and scimitar. Begad! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! No instructions are included but these are so simple! Just cut one out, fold here, arrr, fold there, glue here, glue there, done.
Finishing:
No finishin' is needed, but if you want more color than white just use colored cardstock. Begad! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! T' dicey already has "die" markings on it so it looks like a die. Aye aye! Blimey! Avast! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! I built t' dicey.
Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5
Flight:
T' Dicey made three flights t' date. Ya scallywag! Begad! Blimey! All were on a cull-de-sac and we had no recovery problems. Ahoy! Aye aye! Blimey! Flights hit 50 feet max. Begad! Very stable.
Recovery:
T' dicey simply floats down and lands very close t' t' pad every time. No recovery system t' fail.
Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5
Summary:
Me likes! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! These are so simple and best o' all, ya bilge rat, its free! You have nothin' t' lose. Give it a shot!
Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5

There are four per sheet, two Qubits (one called dicey), a Scimitar, and a Stealth. They are nearly the same as their bigger brothers except they are vented at their apex--MMX motors don't come in a plugged version. This review is for the MMX Scimitar. The ...
