Estes helicopter recovery rocket, arrr, offered as more o' a competition style kit. Sized t' fly on 13mm “Mini” A motors. Begad! T' rotor blades require shaping, and t' attach points are constructed from multiple laser cut cardboard pieces. Avast, me proud beauty! An enjoyable build, somethin' definitely outside t' norm for Estes, and hopefully nay t' last such project.

Second attempt, this time with t' rubber bands routed properly. Very nice straight boost, stallin' out and tippin' over at ejection. All blades deployed but t' rocket ended up in a nose down attitude and never really started spinnin' as it wafted back down t' t' field. Batter than t' first flight but still nay as intended. No damage, will have t' keep tryin' t' make it work.
