In the MicroMaxRockets yahoo group we've discussed at length how sometimes miniaturization of certain things does not always work as well or sometimes at all like the full size version.
The Wee Wacky Wiggler seems to be one of those occurrences. While building much attention was paid to fit and finish of the original 7 section all plastic model. While The finished model Looks as close to the original as practical in flight it just will not seperate into all seven segment. Generally is pops into only 4 sections. Still wiggles and wobbles on the way down but just not as KEWL as the bigger rocket
Truth be told it's also a PAIN in the backside to prep and get on the launch rod at this scale LOL!!!
If lost I'd build another just because of the silly factor but as a flying micro: Flight is pretty good (50-60 feet) but recovery isn't as wiggly
