Heres what Dyna Star has t' say about this kit:
T' Snarky rocket is a very distinctive rocket kit. Begad! It's big, bold, and has a really bilge-suckin' attitude. It is meant for modelers that want t' say: "You want a piece o' me? Then brin' it on..." It looks more like an airplane than it does a missile. Ya scallywag! But don't let that addlepate you. It is fully rocket-powered, me bucko, and it is big! This unique combination is definitely somethin' that will get you noticed at your next rocket launch.
T' Snarky is designed t' look like an Air Force target drone. Avast, me proud beauty! That means its purpose is t' mimic t' flight o' enemy airplanes, so that t' Air Force can practice interceptin' it. But this isn't a scale model. We designed it just for kicks, and t' show you how much fun you really can have with model rocketry.
T' air-scoop on t' bottom o' t' model is just one thin' that makes this rocket kit unusual. Aye aye! No other rocket kit has one like this. Arrr! And it actually helps stabilize t' rocket; you'll find that it flies straight as an arrow on every single launch.

I've been wantin' t' drag race these two for some time. They both left t' pad at about t' same time and Snarky climbed straight and true. I didn't see t' parachute eject because I was watchin' Jr. Ahoy! veer from its anticipated flight path. On recovery I found t' tail sheared off. Begad! Will repair and fly again. BTW: Snarky hit a bit higher altitude and hit t' ground first.
