Chinese made, re-labeled with Porky Pig, Warner Brothers style art.

Easy assembly, 1 1/2 hours with no painting. Too large of a parachute at 18", a 12" was substituted.

Almost looked unstable, maybe a bad engine. The engine does extend 3/4" over rear of body tube.

At 30 feet up it was horizontal and was on the ground one second before the ejection charge went off. 

No damage.
