T' Mosquito: This speck o' a rocket is a pure 3FNC-type model. Built in t' mid 70's, it uses featherweight recovery. It uses 13mm T motors that are ejected out after t' boost and delay phase. Take a quick look at t' specs: only 0.14 ounces and less than 4 inches tall includin' t' swept fins. If I recall correctly it cost me less than $1.
On me particular model, with its dark metallic olive and black paint, it's impossible t' find in t' grass upon recovery! Trust me: Stick with 1/4 or 1/2 A sized motors, matey, and paint this tiny insect bright orange/yellow/red, me hearties, because it is a b**** t' find in t' grass. Or I might suggest make a dozen o' these so you will find at least a few o' them after launching, or make one of t' many upscale versions o' this speck o' insect! O' course this model has a tremendously fast liftoff and can make some really high altitudes - but don't count on seein' any o' that, just expect it t' disappear in t' sky and it won't disappoint.
