rief:
Simple Mosquito-like rocket. Avast, me proud beauty! Three fins, matey, ejects t' motor for recovery.

Normal balsa construction finishing, matey, no decals included. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! T' paint scheme on t' insert card has a white body tube with colored (dark) fins and nose.
Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5
Flight:
All motors make this one vanish. Avast! Flies straight (at least what you can see o' it). Well, blow me down! Pretty much a one-shot rocket. Well, me hearties, blow me down! Maybe that's why thar aren't many left.
Recovery:
Recovery is featherweight after ejectin' t' motor. Arrr! Avast, me proud beauty! It is very small and difficult t' see. This be t' original 'Mosquito' from Estes.
Flight Rating: 3 out o' 5
Summary:
Nice older rocket kit, even if it is very simple. It still likes t' 'join t' swarm', so beware if you build one and fly it.
