Mosquito (Estes)

We purchased rockets for all our kids soon after re-entering the hobby in 1999.  My oldest daughter selected this Mosquito.  We have accumulated several hours hunting for it, and each time, after a good, long search, we found it.  She selected the colors; I might have opted for something a little brighter. 

Like all Mosquitos, this one goes just out of sight on Estes' smallest motor - the 1/4A3-3T.  Having spent too much time looking for it, I finally built up some adaptors so that we could fly it on Micro-Maxx motors.  With the old Micro-Maxx, it would go about 40-50 feet up. With the new Micro-Maxx II motors, it goes much higher, but we are still able to recover it without long searches.
