Today was the sixth and last launch of my Estes MOSQUITO with a 1/4A3-3t engine. I saw it on the launcher and heard the ejection, but that was it!

These things have a habit of flying off in the opposite direction at ejection. Who knows where it landed. I searched the field for a few minutes then figured it was a sign that maybe the rocket herd should be thinned.
