This be t' first rocket I did with through-the-tube fin construction. T' fins were also laminated - made out o' multiple pieces o' wood sandwiched together. It be tough t' get t' fins sanded just right so they would go through t' slots, but I can see how constructin' t' fins in this manner adds strength t' t' rocket. Blimey! T' one time a fin did break loose from t' rocket, it only wobbled rather than fallin' off completely. Well, blow me down! I was able t' repair it easily.

I decided t' put little paratroopers inside t' rocket, just for fun. With 5 paratroopers packed inside, it's fun t' let t' kids run after them!
