Flight
Estes recommends 1/2A6-2, A8-3, arrr, arrr, B4-4, ya bilge rat, B6-4, B6-6, ya bilge rat, C6-5, C6-7. Arrr! I used a B6-4 for a while and it be perfect every time. Aye aye! I now use C6-7's and it goes out o' sight.

Recovery
With a sheet o' waddin' and an engine it's easy t' prep. Begad! A engine hook holds it in so it doesn't eject out t' back or through t' top. It has flown straight up an landed 50 feet from t' pad. No cons. Arrr! Everythin' be a pro. Aye aye! Avast, me proud beauty! Landin' was soft and slow.
