Freebie kit that came with Mega Mosquito. Avast, me proud beauty! Rather than buildin' for motor ejection I chose t' try makin' this a nose blow recovery model. Avast, me proud beauty! Nose cone is nay glued on. A length o' Keelhaul®©™ is glued into t' nose cone and runs t' a lariat loop around t' motor. Blimey! Motor requires a tape thrust rin' and friction fit. Because I have plenty o' yellow in me fleet already I painted this one orange and black (Rustoleum 2X).

Tape thrust rin' around t' back end, arrr, Keelhaul®©™ lariat looped around that, half a square o' waddin' in t' front o' t' motor, friction fit. Mighty Mo was ready t' go, for its first time. Countdown t' zero and it disappeared. Ahoy! Blimey! Some people tracked it, I didn’t see a thin' until t' last half second o' t' flight. It all went nominally. Arrr! Blimey! I guess!
