Estes Phoenix

 

Hard to tell in the picture but the finish came out excellent on this rocket, one of my all time favorites.  We've yet to have the best luck with recovery after flights though. 

Seems every time she flies we loose at least one of the bottom fins, they've all been re-attached with CA now so we'll see if that makes any difference.

A couple more flights and the CA'd fins stay on, systematically replacing the wood cement fins as they pop off.

This rocket has very impressive and slow liftoffs a great flier. I've been dying to upscale this into midpower, hopefully I'll get that done someday.
