Another of the Centuri Engeneering funny recovery mostly cardstock models was "the Point". Kicking the empty motor casing out of the Aeroshell body to dangle below in of a short shock cord the models Cardstock cone shaped body became the Chute. For the most part it worked LOL!!! Downscaled to micro-maxx size it still works just like the full size 18mm motor model. We can now clone this model or get a repo kit for Semiroc.
Had an original, both current flying models are clones.

It was a long winter here in MI and I guess I was a building machine.
Here are some more completed projects.
Semroc Point, Odd'l Rockets Wedgie, Estes Xarconian Cruiser, and Semroc Mars Lander.
All were a lot of fun to build and will fly soon.

Cheers!!
