Going a bit in the other direction from the Smallest, Lightest micor model I let the vehicle weight get away from me a bit on this downscale.
It's such a KEWL looking design I simply wanted to make it as close to the original Space probe as I could. All the centering rings and 12 fins give it some heft and additional DRAG. Turned out pretty well building wise but this little piggy doesn't like to get much altitude on a single motor. Flys OK and recoverys without damage I just wish I had paid a bit more attention to the mass while building.
