Estes Flying Model Rocket Kit Mini Mosquito 1345
A mini engine powered version of the 1335 Mega Mosquito. And do we mean MINI! Standing just 3.8" tall, this little guy can really sore! The Mosquito features simple and quick construction with out of site performance.
Tumble recovery brings this awesome little rocket back to earth. When powered by the A10-3T mini engine, heights of 800 feet can be reached! That's more than 200 times his own height! But buyer beware, with him being so small and using the most powerful mini engine we make, he might not return! So consider yourself warned.

This little beauty is very easy to build
This little beauty is very easy to build and performs very well. I’d say it’s ideal for anyone interested in model rocketry. It’s a perfect first kit for beginners and a nice performer for rocketeers with more experienced. It’s powered by “mini” engines and has simple tumble recovery. It reaches fairly high altitudes, yet it’s easy to track throughout its flight despite its tiny size. I highly recommend this little gem to anyone who’s interested in model rocketry.
