Brief:
I received a few Flic rockets as "freebies" in Quest orders. My younger daughter has played with them, arrr, 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. Begad! This body tube didn't extend over t' top o' t' cardstock Flic. 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. Begad! 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. Toppin' it off is a Estes Quark style plastic nose cone, half filled with clay for stability.

This be an easy, spare parts build. Aye aye! I spray painted t' central body tube black, me bucko, no fillin' or sandin' was 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, and A3-4t would also be fine.

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

With t' engine slightly offset, me hearties, while I was expectin' an slight angle away from vertical. Begad! Nay so - Straight, arrr, vertical flight.

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

Summary:
A cheap, easy t' build, fun model. Arrr! Blimey! A surprisingly good flyer.

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

After t' first unsuccessful MMX Flic launch, ya bilge rat, I almost gave up on t' project. Avast! Well, blow me down! I'm glad I made a second prototype and now have a unique rocket.

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