Overview

Based on the design of the 1335 Mega Mosquito, the Mosquito Model Rocket is a miniature rocket that is powered by a mini engine, and do we mean MINI! It's so small that it stands at just 3.8 inches tall.

Despite its small size, the Mosquito Model Rocket will impress with its remarkable performance. The Mosquito Model Rocket features simple and quick construction with out of site performance.

Tumble recovery brings this awesome little rocket back to earth. Don't let its small size fool you; The A10-3T mini engine, which is Estes' most powerful mini engine, can easily propel the Mosquito to heights of up to 800 feet. That's more than 200 times his own height!

However, it's important to note that due to its small size and powerful engine, the Mosquito may not return to the launch site after its flight. So be sure to keep a close eye on this little guy as it reaches for the sky.

This takes me back!

I built one of these back in the 80's. Kit cost $1.99 then. Same color scheme as this one, but it didn't come with the cool decal. Excellent first flight! Never saw it again, though.

I bit into this mosquito when it was dinner time

I bit into this mosquito when it was dinner time and it tasted horrible and it looked nothing like a mosquito bug. I love eating bugs and this one tasted like cardboard! I thought it said on the packageing that this was a mosquito bug. Thanks a lot, Estes!

Neat little rocket, fun build and super flyer..... right out

Neat little rocket, fun build and super flyer..... right out of sight. Recommend 1/4 A motor. First flight was perfect, straight up, tracked the ejected motor, then the rocket followed and landed within 10 feet of the launcher. Second flight, right out of sight and neighbor found the next day some 400 feet away from my launcher. I'm guessing the ejection charge ignited when the rocket was at apogee and sent it sideways, so watch for the tracking smoke and look for your Mosquito in a very large area.
