Again not looking a gift horse in the mouth. Things that would be nice to see and I believe would make it easier to build and fly.
Integrate the launch lug into the body. Ideally have it exit through the tube in the roof.
Rear eject pod/square spool. Can and perhaps should integrate the fins with the ejected segment . A plate with a cylinder in the middle and fin guides would be nice.
The INSIDE surface of the body of the rocket should be smooth as the proverbial babies butt. This facilitates the chute spool exiting the rear.
The rocket body is a brick, it looks like it could survive being run over by a bike if not a car. I don’t know if it needs to be that thick.
I WOULD keep a separate piece for the roof EVEN with rear eject. The white color saves painting. Not sure how easy it is to get a teal colored plastic for the body, would save painting.
Green for fins would be nice.
I am apple polishing here just because I hate paint.
