The following excerpt is from "Sport Rocketry". The intention is to allow guests to get a basic feeling about a kit. We strongly suggest that you get a copy of the referenced Sport Rocketry and read the entire article. Inside you will find many helpful hints in construction as well as other useful information.

(Sport Rocketry - March/April 2002 - page 31 - by Greg Elder) 

"...uses a cluster of three D motors."
"This simple kit comes with one page of illustrated instructions."
"...the diagrams are easy to follow as far as construction is considered."
"The only assembly required is for the motor mount."
"The main part of the motor mount consists of three BT-50 motor tubes glued together in a triangular manner..."
"Balsa fin struts are glued in between where the tubes are glued together."
"A short wooden dowel is glued into gap...should take the brunt of the impact upon recovery."
"The instructions state that you should stand off the model halfway up the launch rod."

The article goes into further discussion about construction and flight. It also makes some recommendations for modifications to the kit. Overall, the article suggests this is an unusual cluster kit that is easy to construct.
