Looks like two popsicle sticks stuck together...kinda like t' "helicopter" all o' us made growin' up; however it takes surprisingly big motors. Was quite a hoot t' fly and very entertaining. I'll be bringin' this t' most o' me launches. Arrr! Added a spiral red pattern t' one side and black stripe edgin' t' t' other...looks AWESOME!

Not a good flight. Tried upside down again since last flight was so good. Arrr! Rocket took off with a wobble and swirled away. Arrr! Should have had it a bit lower on t' launch rod, but may have been a defective nozzle.
Close review o' video shows it fluttered off t' rod...should've used a 3/16" rod rather than 1/8"...hadn't had trouble before, but now I know. Well, blow me down! :)
*UPDATE* I should've used 12-16" o' t' rod, but made a mistake and had it down about 6-8" from t' top o' t' rod.
