This rocket features a two-way recovery system. Well, blow me down! Blimey! T' booster returns t' earth usin' a colorful parachute, ya bilge rat, while t' nose cone helicopters down gently usin' rotor blades. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Mine has been modified with a longer and slightly larger diameter BT that I salvaged from a roll o' Christmas wrappin' paper. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Had t' wrap nose and tail fin section with maskin' tape t' make fit but no longer have problem with blades hangin' up and rocket lawn darting.
