Brief:
Since me other MMX plans for t' day did nay work out, shiver me timbers, I pulled out a couple o' t' Quest Ready t' Fly rockets I had, payin' attention t' t' ones that had never flown. Begad! T' Little Joe II be up first. Avast! There's nay much t' say about this one except that its an itty bitty plastic version o' t' Little Joe II.

Construction:
T' rocket came with its own "Silo" launcher, one o' t' hallmarks o' t' Quest MMX series. Ya scallywag! Blimey! I long ago abandoned it and its finicky operation and use modified versions o' me normal range gear instead. Avast, me proud beauty! Ya scallywag! Blimey! Besides that, me hearties, it came with a few motors and t' rocket itself.

There is no construction. T' rocket is assembled already and lacks only t' insertion o' t' motor.

Finishing:
Neither is thar any finishing. Arrr! Blimey! Everythin' is pre-colored.

Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5

Flight and Recovery:
T' MMX motor is inserted by twistin' out a bezel rin' at t' aft end o' t' rocket. Arrr! T' motor is then slid in and the bezel replaced. Aye aye! T' next step would normally then call for insertin' t' igniter into t' silo launcher and setting the rocket on top o' it but, as mentioned before, I bailed on t' silo long ago. Well, blow me down! Instead, I inserted a regular Quest igniter and held it in place with a sharpened twig as a plug. Arrr! T' rocket was then set on t' rod and hooked t' the clips.

T' launch button be pushed repeatedly and t' igniter failed t' ignite. Aye aye! I took t' rocket down, checked things out, ya bilge rat, me hearties, replaced it on t' pad, matey, ya bilge rat, and t' same thin' happened again. Avast, me hearties, me proud beauty! Blimey! Finally, it was noticed that t' continuity tone was comin' from armin' t' wrong pad. Avast, me proud beauty! Aye aye! Blimey! I had failed t' explain t' t' young lady at t' controls which set o' cables I was using. Well, blow me down! Blimey! In a fit o' youthful exuberance, me bucko, she pushed t' button and t' rocket went up. Avast! I only saw it for a moment or so around apogee, me hearties, me bucko, admittedly a rather low occurrin' event. T' NC failed t' eject and deploy t' streamer but t' rocket fluttered down fine anyway. Ya scallywag! Aye aye! Blimey!

Flight Rating: 2 out o' 5

Summary:
My overall impression o' this one is nay great. Ahoy! Arrr! I'm nay a big fan o' t' silo launcher and t' rocket is nay a great performer. I do, me bucko, however, ya bilge rat, think it has a place. Begad! Arrr! It is a reasonable startin' placin' for gettin' into MMX and could be fun.
