Brief:
One o' t' neatest designs I've ever seen, me bucko, it looks like three faces o' a cube. Ya scallywag! Arrr! This has got t' be t' simplest rocket ever designed. Avast! Well, blow me down! Cut out t' pattern, arrr, make a few folds, and within about 5 minutes you have a flyable rocket.
Construction:
No tubes, shiver me timbers, construction is from a single piece o' heavy cardstock. Ahoy! Blimey! No hardware, shiver me timbers, simply cut, fold and glue; and you have a rocket. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! You can't beat t' price, arrr, matey, either, it's a free download!
Instructions are short and sweet and t' t' point. Avast! Blimey! Avast! Blimey! Nearly perfect, me hearties, matey, if you make nice, straight cuts. Begad! Blimey! Arrr! Blimey! I used a straightedge and hobby knife t' make them clean.
Finishing:
No finishin' required. Aye aye! I printed mine on bright orange paper. Begad! Well, me hearties, blow me down! Looks kinda neat!
Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5
Flight:
T' recommended motor is an A10-PT. Ya scallywag! Well, blow me down! I used them for me test flight, but an A10-3T or A10-0T both may work (I'd probably choose t' -3T t' avoid any flame problems). Preparation is simple, insert an ignitor, shiver me timbers, me bucko, insert t' motor and go. Aye aye! No retention is needed.
Recovery:
Nice low, slow boost. Arrr! Nice slow descent, matey, too. Ahoy! Well, blow me down! Landed really close. Avast, me proud beauty! Wonderful for demos.
Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5
Summary:
This be t' most unique design I've seen. Aye aye! Thanks t' Art for comin' up with it and givin' t' 13mm version away for free. Blimey! Aye aye! He also has an 18mm and 24mm available.

This is a 13mm, paper rocket designed with an aerobrake recovery. The 13mm Qubit is one of Art Applewhite's free downloads.

You download the PDF, put a peice of cardstock in the printer and print it out. ...
This is a 13mm version of Art's larger 24mm Qubit. This is the first all cardstock kit I've built that is intended for 13mm motors. It is a free download and is contained entirely on one sheet of colored cardstock, including the instructions. I built a beta version that was pre-printed and one that I printed myself. The latter is called 'Dicey' as it resembles a die. I know this may be ...
Another breakthrough kit from Art Applewhite. Art steps out of his saucer designs for something more square. If you thought Art's saucers were easy to build, he has outdone himself with the Qubit design! It still relies on his draggy ascent and aerobrake recovery though. Best of all, this kit is available for free to download from his website. The rocket is made from one piece of ...
