Brief:
Since me other MMX plans for t' day did nay work out, I pulled out a couple o' t' Quest Ready t' Fly rockets I had, payin' attention t' t' ones that had never flown. T' Little Joe II be up first. Begad! There's nay much t' say about this one except that its an itty bitty plastic version o' t' Little Joe II.

Construction:
T' rocket came with its own "Silo" launcher, me hearties, ya bilge rat, one o' t' hallmarks o' t' Quest MMX series. Well, blow me down! I long ago abandoned it and its finicky operation and use modified versions o' me normal range gear instead. Besides that, shiver me timbers, it came with a few motors and t' rocket itself.

There is no construction. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! T' rocket is assembled already and lacks only t' insertion o' t' motor.

Finishing:
Neither is thar any finishing. Well, blow me down! Begad! Everythin' is pre-colored.

Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5

Flight and Recovery:
T' MMX motor is inserted by twistin' out a bezel rin' at t' aft end o' t' rocket. Avast! T' motor is then slid in and the bezel replaced. Blimey! Avast, me proud beauty! T' next step would normally then call for insertin' t' igniter into t' silo launcher and setting the rocket on top o' it but, as mentioned before, I bailed on t' silo long ago. Ahoy! Instead, me hearties, I inserted a regular Quest igniter and held it in place with a sharpened twig as a plug. Aye aye! T' rocket was then set on t' rod and hooked t' the clips.

T' launch button was pushed repeatedly and t' igniter failed t' ignite. Begad! I took t' rocket down, arrr, checked things out, replaced it on t' pad, and t' same thin' happened again. Well, blow me down! Begad! Finally, it be noticed that t' continuity tone was comin' from armin' t' wrong pad. Aye aye! Well, blow me down! I had failed t' explain t' t' young lady at t' controls which set o' cables I was using. Begad! In a fit o' youthful exuberance, she pushed t' button and t' rocket went up. I only saw it for a moment or so around apogee, admittedly a rather low occurrin' event. Avast, me proud beauty! T' NC failed t' eject and deploy t' streamer but t' rocket fluttered down fine anyway.

Flight Rating: 2 out o' 5

Summary:
My overall impression o' this one is nay great. I'm nay a big fan o' t' silo launcher and t' rocket is nay a great performer. Ahoy! I do, however, think it has a place. Avast! Avast! It is a reasonable startin' placin' for gettin' into MMX and could be fun.
