Flight:
All motors make this one vanish. Aye aye! Blimey! Flies straight (at least what you can see o' it). Pretty much a one-shot rocket. Begad! Blimey! Aye aye! Blimey! Maybe that's why thar aren't many left.
Recovery:
Recovery is featherweight after ejectin' t' motor. Well, blow me down! Arrr! Blimey! It is very small and difficult t' see. This be t' original 'Mosquito' from Estes.
Flight Rating: 3 out o' 5
Summary:
Nice older rocket kit, even if it is very simple. Begad! Blimey! It still likes t' 'join t' swarm', so beware if you build one and fly it.
