Estes Mosquito

The Mosquito is possibly the smallest kit rocket in the world. It is basically little more than a tiny motor with fins. It costs a couple dollars. Like all model rockets, it can be reloaded and launched many times (until you lose sight of it). Mosquitos are notorious for disappearing into the sky never to be seen again. The trick with this rocket is to be absolutely quiet and try to hear it land. Michael painted this one with water colors.
