Now Astro says he wants to take advantage of the thick fins to try out a mechanism to have them pop-off at apogee and come down tethered to the main tube.
His "If it doesn't work that we can glue them on later" approach sounds reasonable, mostly. If it fails on first flight, I only hope that no smurfs die needlessly. Is he planning some sort of ground test? (And just what is he trying to accomplish by this mechanism?)
Will the hemp cords be exposed any ejection gas/particles?
... with a nickname like that, better work on the crates, not the rocket!
