Red Flare

The D engine got stuck in the rocket body after the first launch. Otherwise good rocket for the grandkids and big enough to find in flight and after so easy recovery.

Core Sample Performed

Bought it, built it, core sampled on second flight with E12-4. Never again will I use another Estes rocket engine. After going throught the loss of rockets with the failed D engines and loss of rockets, now I have my new 40 dollar rocket having a weak ejection charge causing my rocket to be destroyed. From this day forward I'll never use anything but composite engines.
