Brief
Ready t' fly packaged with two rockets, launcher, ya bilge rat, and 8 motors.
Construction
T' Quest Micro Maxx product adds a new dimension t' t' hobby. Ya scallywag! With these new 6mm motors t' ability t' construct micro scale models is now possible.

Flight
T' starter kit that I purchased included t' Raw Fusion and Vector I. Avast! These are t' two that are most "standard" in appearance.
T' special iginitors and motors worked well each time. Ya scallywag! Blimey! T' rockets flew t' about 50-75 feet. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Avast! Blimey! Each flight was straight with a slight weathercock into t' wind (slight breeze) at apogee.
Recovery
Both used a piston type ejection system, shiver me timbers, eliminatin' t' need for recovery wadding. Aye aye! Blimey! Well, blow me down! Blimey! T' streamer comes about 6-8" long and does nay deploy well. Avast! Blimey! 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. Avast, matey, me proud beauty! 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. Well, blow me down! Arrr! Although you should consider t' rockets as disposable. Avast, me proud beauty! T' plastic rockets will nay last for much more than an average o' 4-8 flights each is me guess.
