Flight
Estes recommends 1/2A6-2, A8-3, B4-4, shiver me timbers, shiver me timbers, B6-4, B6-6, me bucko, C6-5, C6-7. I used a B6-4 for a while and it was perfect every time. Ya scallywag! 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. Ahoy! A engine hook holds it in so it doesn't eject out t' back or through t' top. Avast, shiver me timbers, me proud beauty! It has flown straight up an landed 50 feet from t' pad. Blimey! No cons. Arrr! Everythin' was a pro. Ya scallywag! Arrr! Landin' was soft and slow.
