The Gnome is chrome at its hottest! Standing just a little over 10 inches tall with super shiny chrome and sapphire blue colors, this is one great looking, mini engine powered cloud chaser that can reach altitudes of 800 feet. Recovery is fast and reliable with its orange colored streamer for easy tracking after a super fast flight!
