Free Flight Rocketeer
Last spring I built a U.S. Rockets Mosquito 2.2. I loved that rocket! I lost it in waist deep alfalfa on a flight with a SU F50T. It was an awesome flight and I watched all the way to the ground. Looked for it for several hours. Several other people looked as well and nada
I bought another kit at the launch because I knew I would build another one.
A picture of the lost Mosquito 2.2:
I tried a new brand of paint and put the second coat on at a bad time. The finish was a bit flawed but it's hard to tell as it's screaming to the sky.
So what do you get in this kit? This is a simple kit. There aren't that many parts!
-Nice hard balsa fins and nose cone. The fins are surface mounted. I used a new technique for me in attaching them on my first build. I'll cover that when I get to attaching the fins.
-Sturdy 2.2" body tube.
-29mm motor mount with a 24mm adapter. Plywood centering rings.
-3"x30" streamer that works great on this rocket.
-Shock chord is nice and long and the attachment uses the classic paper fold triangle.
-1/4" launch lug
-Spare easy to follow instructions
A very simple, easy kit. Time to build! Feel free to jump into the conversation.
