Was a rare windless day here on the shores of lake Michigan, so I put down the rake and went to the park to fly some micros. First flight was the Quest Spacefighter, which had a great boost but decided to imitate a lawn jart on landing. Next up was the Space Shuttle, which wiggled its way up to a nice height of 40 feet or so. The SR-71 had a great flight, and for the first time in 10 years decided to deploy the streamer. Finally, I flew a Flis crayon. I bought/built this kit in 2006 or 2007 and a convention here in WI, but I had never flown it for some strange reason. I loaded it up and pushed the button, and the thing screamed off the pad to a height where I was lucky to catch the ejection charge. I then lost the rocket, and thought to myself why on earth had I picked the green crayon? After searching the field for about 20 minutes, I spotted the fin unit, but the Kevlar shock cord had snapped. My heart sank a little as I realized my odds of recovery were next to nothing, but the rocket gods were smiling on me and I managed to locate my crayon.
If you fly MMX and don't have this kit, grab one! It flies great and really is amusing to see on the pad. Just buy the red one
