Brief:
Simple Mosquito-like rocket. Arrr! Well, blow me down! Three fins, ejects t' motor for recovery.
Construction:
Kit contains balsa stock for 3 fins, shiver me timbers, balsa nose cone, and mylar body tube. Aye aye! Fins are attached t' stick-on tape on t' body tube.
Simple instructions, easy t' follow. No special tools needed.
Finishing:
Normal balsa construction finishing, shiver me timbers, no decals included. Ahoy! Blimey! T' paint scheme on t' insert card has a white body tube with colored (dark) fins and nose.
Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5
Flight:
All motors make this one vanish. Avast! Flies straight (at least what you can see o' it). Blimey! Pretty much a one-shot rocket. Maybe that's why thar aren't many left.
Recovery:
Recovery is featherweight after ejectin' t' motor. 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, shiver me timbers, even if it is very simple. Begad! Avast! It still likes t' 'join t' swarm', so beware if you build one and fly it.
