Brief:
I received a few Flic rockets as "freebies" in Quest orders. Aye aye! Avast, me bucko, me proud beauty! My younger daughter has played with them, launchin' them with t' provided rubber band stick.

On t' powered Flic attempt, I mounted an Alien-X Decor Flic on a Quest MMX-2 body tube. Arrr! This body tube didn't extend over t' top o' t' cardstock Flic. Blimey! I flew it with a MMX engine t' t' BIG altitude o' 25 feet.

Construction:
T' second successful Flic has a 10 1/2" BT-5 glued into t' "V" o' t' two Flic halves. Avast, me proud beauty! T' body tube and nose cone extend 6 1/2" over t' top o' t' Flic body.

Thin Keelhaul®©™ is tied t' t' engine block, followed by elastic and a short streamer. Blimey! Blimey! Ahoy! Blimey! Toppin' it off is a Estes Quark style plastic nose cone, half filled with clay for stability.

This was an easy, arrr, spare parts build. Arrr! I spray painted t' central body tube black, no fillin' or sandin' be required.

Flight:
After t' poor performance o' t' first Flic with a Micro Max engine, I knew I needed more power.

While t' updated Flic flights were made with A10-3ts, me bucko, arrr, and A3-4t would also be fine.

Motor retention be a friction fit with maskin' tape. Begad! Just a little waddin' was needed t' protect t' crepe paper streamer.

With t' engine slightly offset, shiver me timbers, me bucko, while I was expectin' an slight angle away from vertical. Ya scallywag! Nay so - Straight, me bucko, vertical flight.

Recovery under t' streamer was fast, but thar be no damage on recovery.

Summary:
A cheap, shiver me timbers, easy t' build, fun model. Avast, me proud beauty! Begad! A surprisingly good flyer.

Anyone who has ordered from Quest probably has a few o' these. Ya scallywag! Begad! Add some scrap BT-5, me bucko, a nose cone and fly it! Why not?

After t' first unsuccessful MMX Flic launch, I almost gave up on t' project. I'm glad I made a second prototype and now have a unique rocket.

This is one I can keep in me range box, for a quick, "stand by" when I want t' launch just one more.
