Thanks Babar!
I vaguely recalled someone warning me that the most likely damage for this kit would be to the tail on landing and I had wanted to try the "flat recovery" for other projects (including a SBR 5.5" Hellfire with a clear domed nose and lots of nose weight), so this was a great opportunity for me to try and gain the experience.
You do bring up a great point about how the configuration of the tail fins would more likely lead to it having the rocket come down bottom first though.
Also I didn't catch the body's landing, but I think it hit the road since my first landing on grass was 1thoughts?
I would add that I love the quality,weight, and strength of the thin plywood used in this kit!
@BigMacDaddy any thoughts & experience?
