Was watching some random youtube today and came across this. It lands just like the Falcon 9.

Has anyone on the forum came up with some plans for something like this?

I saw this guy's work a while back, so I haven't viewed the video above. One challenge to overcome: keeping stable flight after motor burnout. Most hobby motors are short on burn and rather longer on coast/delay; need a means of keeping the pointy end up until the chute is to be deployed.
