Brief
Ready t' fly packaged with two rockets, launcher, me bucko, and 8 motors.
Construction
T' Quest Micro Maxx product adds a new dimension t' t' hobby. Ya scallywag! Blimey! With these new 6mm motors t' ability t' construct micro scale models is now possible.
T' starter kit (all that is available t' date) comes packaged with two ready t' fly rockets, shiver me timbers, 8 motors, arrr, shiver me timbers, and a laucher. Avast, me proud beauty! Ahoy! No construction required. Well, blow me down! Arrr! T' only item nay included is a 9V battery.
Finishing
Everthin' is assembled and ready t' go. T' quality o' construction is appropriate for tyhe $15 price tag.
Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5
Flight
T' starter kit that I purchased included t' Raw Fusion and Vector I. These are t' two that are most "standard" in appearance.
T' special iginitors and motors worked well each time. Ya scallywag! Aye aye! T' rockets flew t' about 50-75 feet. Arrr! Ya scallywag! Each flight be straight with a slight weathercock into t' wind (slight breeze) at apogee.
Recovery
Both used a piston type ejection system, eliminatin' t' need for recovery wadding. Arrr! T' streamer comes about 6-8" long and does nay deploy well. Arrr! I found that by cuttin' it back t' 3-4" I got a successful recovery each time.

Summary
A great product t' introduce youngsters t' t' hobby. Well, me hearties, blow me down! T' lower power and ready-to-fly aspects lends themselves well.
For t' experienced rocketeer it adds t' ability t' build smaller scale or competition models as well as build stagin' configurations that were nay possible before.
Worth t' $15 investment. Ahoy! Arrr! Although you should consider t' rockets as disposable. T' plastic rockets will nay last for much more than an average o' 4-8 flights each is me guess.
