Flight:
First flight was a long time coming. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Went though about 5 igniters before givin' up and usin' Estes igniters. Avast, me proud beauty! Aye aye! Blimey! Also thar be a problem with parts separatin' that shouldn't have, shiver me timbers, arrr, so you better have some CA with you as you will probably need it. Well, blow me down! Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Good flights other than that. Most went about 100 feet up with ejection right at apogee and recovered after landin' in street. No other damage other than that o' t' ejection charge blowin' out nose cone.

Second flight was t' flyin' saucer. It went about 20 feet up and about 15 feet t' t' side. Cute flight.

Quest Micro Maxx Super Value Starter Set Third flight was t' Critical Mass rocket which went a good 110 feet up and ejected at apogee but t' nose cone blew out again.

Flight Rating: 2 out o' 5

Summary:
PROs: Cute rockets that can be flown most anywhere.

CONs: poor construction.

If you can get this one half off t' normal price it is OK, but would nay recommend that anyone pay full price though.
