Looks like two popsicle sticks stuck together...kinda like the "helicopter" all of us made growing up; however it takes surprisingly big motors. Was quite a hoot to fly and very entertaining. I'll be bringing this to most of my launches. Added a spiral red pattern to one side and black stripe edging to the other...looks AWESOME!

Not a good flight. Tried upside down again since last flight was so good. Rocket took off with a wobble and swirled away. Should have had it a bit lower on the launch rod, but may have been a defective nozzle.
Close review of video shows it fluttered off the rod...should've used a 3/16" rod rather than 1/8"...hadn't had trouble before, but now I know. :)
*UPDATE* I should've used 12-16" of the rod, but made a mistake and had it down about 6-8" from the top of the rod.
