The use of tube fins has the advantage that the fins dont break upon a tough landing. So its a very rugged and very safe design.

future -- then pick yourself up a <br>good starter rocket with a 29mm motor mount that will let you fly with F, G and <br>later H motors (for certification flights):<br><br><a href="http://www.madcowrocketry.com/Fiberglass_Honest_John_Rocket_p/k-115.htm" target="_blank">http://www.madcowrocketry.com/Fiberglass_Honest_John_Rocket_p/k-115.htm</a><br><a href="http://www.apogeerockets.com/Rocket_Kits/Skill_Level_3_Kits/Blue_Phenix_Jr._Rocket_Kit" target="_blank">http://www.apogeerockets.com/Rocket_Kits/Skill_Level_3_Kits/Blue_Phenix_Jr._Rocket_Kit</a><br><a href="http://www.apogeerockets.com/Rocket_Kits/Skill_Level_3_Kits/Super_DX3_4.0in_Payload_Rocket_Kit" target="_blank">http://www.apogeerockets.com/Rocket_Kits/Skill_Level_3_Kits/Super_DX3_4.0in_Payload_Rocket_Kit</a><br>(38mm or 29mm w/adapter)<br>And you'll be on your way to HP Rocket certification!<br><br>*NOTE: Getting something that flies on both F/G and H motors will allow you to <br>fly it all you
want with readily available F/G motors that you can buy <br>yourself from the local hobby store, and then when you're ready to "certify" <br>Level-1, come to an NRVR launch and one of the NRVR/TRA officers can help you <br>fill out your certification paper work and get your your first HP H-level <br>motor to certify on (just give us advance notice: rso at nrvr.org) and you'll <br>be on your way into the world of certified High Power Rocketry!<br><br>And as always, if you have a question there are some really smart, old school <br>rocket guys on this list. And chances are, if you have a question, there's <br>probably 3-4 other people on the list wondering the same thing, so ask away!<br><br>Tweeks<br>NRVR Founder<br>_______________________________________________<br>NRVR mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:NRVR@nrvr.org" href="mailto:NRVR@nrvr.org">NRVR@nrvr.org</a><br><a href="http://nrvr.org/mailman/listinfo/nrvr"
