When I was a kid, sometime in the Cretaceous, I got a toy that worked like a maple tree seed. A single blade with a weighted end with a hook. You had a rubber band on a stick that you used to launch it.
You would shoot it straight up and it would auto gyro on the way down.
I'm wondering if you could make a rocket like that? Single fin on a balsa rod, with a rocket motor attached at one end. It would shoot up, then auto gyro on the way down.
Have any of you done that?
