Brief:
I received a few Flic rockets as "freebies" in Quest orders. My younger daughter has played with them, launching them with the provided rubber band stick.

On the powered Flic attempt, I mounted an Alien-X Decor Flic on a Quest MMX-2 body tube. This body tube didn't extend over the top of the cardstock Flic. I flew it with a MMX engine to the BIG altitude of 25 feet.

Construction:
The second successful Flic has a 10 1/2" BT-5 glued into the "V" of the two Flic halves. The body tube and nose cone extend 6 1/2" over the top of the Flic body.

Thin Kevlar is tied to the engine block, followed by elastic and a short streamer. Topping it off is a Estes Quark style plastic nose cone, half filled with clay for stability.

This was an easy, spare parts build. I spray painted the central body tube black, no filling or sanding was required.

Flight:
After the poor performance of the first Flic with a Micro Max engine, I knew I needed more power.

While the updated Flic flights were made with A10-3ts, and A3-4t would also be fine.

Motor retention was a friction fit with masking tape. Just a little wadding was needed to protect the crepe paper streamer.

With the engine slightly offset, while I was expecting an slight angle away from vertical. Not so - Straight, vertical flight.

Recovery under the streamer was fast, but there was no damage on recovery.

Summary:
A cheap, easy to build, fun model. A surprisingly good flyer.

Anyone who has ordered from Quest probably has a few of these. Add some scrap BT-5, a nose cone and fly it! Why not?

After the first unsuccessful MMX Flic launch, I almost gave up on the project. I'm glad I made a second prototype and now have a unique rocket.

This is one I can keep in my range box, for a quick, "stand by" when I want to launch just one more.
