not a SMALL field rocket

This rocket with the recommended C6 engine is NOT for a small field! Some duct tape wrapped around the launch rod to prevent the rocket fins from resting on the launch pad is helpful. Otherwise the fin pads will get caught on the smaller diameter metal base, and the rocket will not lift off. If the fin pads snag on the base, the motor burns through a hole in the metal base and the rocket never leaves the pad.

It's a magnificent rocket with a LARGE field.

Shock cord rips out.

The shock cord needs a better way to attach to the rocket body. Mayne a cut on the body itself or an extra loop of plastic inside?
