001 Yankee
This is the first rocket I ever built. It was fairly simple but did require that I use a template to cut the fins out. I have flown it with a Estes A6-3, and Estes C6-5 motors. Both flights were perfect but the rocket sustained some damage on landing after the second flight with the C motor. I can't explain why this happened as there was no damage to the recovery streamer.Manufacturer - Estes

Rockets are a combinations of compromises. They have to be both light and strong, fast on the way up and slow on the way down. All these conflicting requirements lead to a less than perfect result. The landing surface is often the deciding factor.
