I bought a "distributor's" block of 4 of them off Ebay for $22. I kept one for myself just for the weird factor; its still in the box. I gave one to a kid from my club who was VERY helpful in dealing with younger kids in a museum class and at a launch where we had a lot of very young kids show up and I put the other 2 in my club's prize kitty where they have yet to be claimed.

The one I gave to Spikey (the helpful kid from my club) is the only one I have seen put together. He tried to fly it at the club launch where all the young kids showed up but was always defeated by the gusting winds which would wreak havoc. That was in July. I've still never seen one of the things fly.

One of these day's I suppose I'll put mine together and give it a try. I wonder how it would perform with an AT reload...some how I think it would be easy to track...

I used to tell Mom, "...I want to fly rockets when I grow up!"

She said, "Make up your mind, you can't do both!"
