Put another scale sounding rocket up. A bit off the beaten path for this one: a Nike Recruit.
A CTI H175 to CTI E31 for a first flight on the conservative side. Great, straight flight with no coning of the Recruit. The photos of the original I’ve seen appear to have no fins, and what I believe is a vacuum nozzle extension. I modeled it as a ‘cone fin’. The paper version I built and flew low power coned a bit. This version (a modded WildChild) must have liked the speed it got from the booster.
