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

Bad flight. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Tried it upside-down again and used 3/16" rod this time, matey, but made a mistake and put rocket only 6-8" down on rod (more on that later). Rocket flew off at about 30 degrees as soon as it left t' rod and crashed into some tall trees. Rocket recovered with no damage; however I was thinkin' I should no longer fly this upside down despite early successful flights.
*UPDATE* I checked t' directions and discovered that I should fly t' rocket usin' a 12-16" rod. Ahoy! I thought it was 6-8"...that may have been some other rocket I read about recently (I think some monocopter).
