Never could get it to fly nearly as well as the claims.
The cheap hand-held teardrop shaped ones most often flew better.

As I recall the two stage rocket rarely stayed together through "burnout" of the first stage. They separated not very long after launch, and just looked like two rockets flying in formation, and they didn't fly much higher than the single staged version (which, for me, only got about 70-80 feet... about 10-20 feet above the tallest pine in the yard).
