I'm a little surprised at the skill rating of one for this rocket. Not that it was very hard, just that you must be very careful to construct the camera carefully, not getting glue where it doesn't need to be and getting enough glue on the other parts to hold them together. The rocket itself, is painfully simple. The instruction book is very thorough, although a little hard to follow due to the intermixing of the three languages. No painting is required. They include film loading, maintenance and flying suggestions that are all very good. The rocket boosts the camera adequately high on C motors and the pictures (albeit mine are mostly of clouds and trees so far) are very good quality. The camera will also fit the Maniac for some D & E high power flights. After about 8 flights my shutter trip cord broke. I used the instructions to replace the cord, this time with Kevlar. I also carefully dropped some thin CA on the knot for strength. The trick to taking good quality pictures, of something significant, is quantity. The more flights the better chance of great results!
