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