Manufacturer: | Art Applewhite Rockets |
Brief:
A super simple Micromaxx rocket. It is free for all at Art Applewhite's website.
Construction:
All you need is a sheet of cardstock. This review is for the dicey and qubit.
The sheet comes printed with four rockets on it: the dicey, qubit, stealth, and scimitar. No instructions are included but these are so simple! Just cut one out, fold here, fold there, glue here, glue there, done.
Finishing:
No finishing is needed, but if you want more color than white just use colored cardstock. The dicey already has "die" markings on it so it looks like a die. I built the dicey.
Construction Rating: 5 out of 5
Flight:
The Dicey made three flights to date. All were on a cull-de-sac and we had no recovery problems. Flights hit 50 feet max. Very stable.
Recovery:
The dicey simply floats down and lands very close to the pad every time. No recovery system to fail.
Flight Rating: 5 out of 5
Summary:
Me likes! These are so simple and best of all, its free! You have nothing to lose. Give it a shot!

Having built all of Art Applewhite's 13mm paper rockets, I'd thought I'd have a go at the baby versions: the tiny MMX paper rockets. 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 ...
