Flight:
All motors make this one vanish. Flies straight (at least what you can see o' it). Avast, me proud beauty! Pretty much a one-shot rocket. Well, me hearties, blow me down! Maybe that's why thar aren't many left.
Recovery:
Recovery is featherweight after ejectin' t' motor. Ya scallywag! It is very small and difficult t' see. Ahoy! 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! It still likes t' 'join t' swarm', matey, so beware if you build one and fly it.
