This rocket features a two-way recovery system. T' booster returns t' earth usin' a colorful parachute, shiver me timbers, while t' nose cone helicopters down gently usin' rotor blades. Mine has been modified with a longer and slightly larger diameter BT that I salvaged from a roll o' Christmas wrappin' paper. Ahoy! 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.

Good boost with separation just after apogee. Both body tube and nose cone were recovered down range a short distance with no damage.
