Just wondering how Estes came up with the name for that model...

I have never seen one, except in pictures in the web. When it is under thrust, does it fly like more like a rocket or more like a blimp?

I believe that The Dude was the only model rocket ever produced that came with instructions stating that the launch pad consisted of a rod stuck in the ground.
