Flight Log - 2007-06-02 - Steve Lindeman's Snarky

Heres what Dyna Star has to say about this kit:

The Snarky rocket is a very distinctive rocket kit. It's big, bold, and has a really bad attitude. It is meant for modelers that want to say: "You want a piece of me? Then bring it on..." It looks more like an airplane than it does a missile. But don't let that fool you. It is fully rocket-powered, and it is big! This unique combination is definitely something that will get you noticed at your next rocket launch.

The Snarky is designed to look like an Air Force target drone. That means its purpose is to mimic the flight of enemy airplanes, so that the Air Force can practice intercepting it. But this isn't a scale model. We designed it just for kicks, and to show you how much fun you really can have with model rocketry.

The air-scoop on the bottom of the model is just one thing that makes this rocket kit unusual. No other rocket kit has one like this. And it actually helps stabilize the rocket; you'll find that it flies straight as an arrow on every single launch.
