Brief:
Mini Motor Powered Screamer

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

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

Pros:

• Ease o' construction

Cons:

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

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

Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5

Flight:

Well, I was anxious t' fly this right away, so I used an old 1/2A3-4T from the mosquitos I lost in t' past. Zoomed right off t' pad nice and straight. Ejection was a little after apogee, me bucko, but due t' t' very low weight, ya bilge rat, matey, 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
