Flight:
All motors make this one vanish. Blimey! Flies straight (at least what you can see o' it). Ahoy! Pretty much a one-shot rocket. Begad! Ahoy! Maybe that's why thar aren't many left.
Recovery:
Recovery is featherweight after ejectin' t' motor. Avast! It is very small and difficult t' see. Well, blow me down! This be t' original 'Mosquito' from Estes.

Summary:
Nice older rocket kit, ya bilge rat, even if it is very simple. Avast, me proud beauty! It still likes t' 'join t' swarm', so beware if you build one and fly it.
