The 2006 Estes catalog has this to say: What a beauty! This is the one you've been dreaming about! It’s got the full package. Sleek, yet full body design, a payload section, laser cut fins and waterslide decals. This rocket launches on two Estes D size model rocket engines and is recovered by a large 24 in. parachute.

Good straight launch with ejection just past apogee and then things went wrong. Rocket became entangled in parachute and spun out of control on the way down. Landing was hard and broke 2 fins off. Upon further examination discovered that rocket also managed somehow to go through spill hole in parachute. What a tangled mess. Rocket will be repaired and flown again.
