Texas Twister
                        Txtwst-wht.jpg (49033 bytes)  This is a very clever kit from Apogee. It has hinged fins preloaded with rubber bands that fold over at deployment. The rocket then helicopters in for recovery.           Txtwst-2tone.jpg (112375 bytes)

Shannon and I built two of these. We put too much paint on the white one and the paint glued the piston to the body tube. The second one came out perfect. The stickers are dazzling and we can't wait to launch it.
