Used the same internal baffle/shock cord mount as the Mach Diamond.

Very nice flight, although a little more corkscrewy. Nice helical smoke trail with an arrow straight trajectory.
I was concerned about that pointy tail fin hitting the ground and breaking off. Not to worry, the planar surface area of the triangular fin in combination with the asymmetric attachment made the rocket come down horizontal, specifically PROTECTED the fin at risk. Came down on the "joint" next to the launch lug. I may put a little electrical tape over this, got minimally scratched. Was a great sport rocket flight.
