Brief:
I received a few Flic rockets as "freebies" in Quest orders. Begad! Begad! My younger daughter has played with them, ya bilge rat, launchin' them with t' provided rubber band stick.

On t' powered Flic attempt, arrr, arrr, 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. Well, blow me down! 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, ya bilge rat, followed by elastic and a short streamer. Begad! 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! Begad! I spray painted t' central body tube black, no fillin' or sandin' was required.

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

While t' updated Flic flights were made with A10-3ts, ya bilge rat, and A3-4t would also be fine.

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

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

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

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

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

After t' first unsuccessful MMX Flic launch, I almost gave up on t' project. Begad! Ya scallywag! 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, arrr, "stand by" when I want t' launch just one more.
