Seems kinda quaint doesn’t it? Reminds me of the rocket Phoenix that first broke the warp barrier in 2063 on Star Trek.
Just FIY for the curious, that top capsule part is what glides back to Earth. The fins you see are actually wings, like on the space shuttle.
I’m kinda surprised that such an asymmetrical wing design doesn’t mess with the aerodynamics of the rocket as it lifts off into space. I’m sure it does and must be compensated for somehow. I’ve built many Estes rockets in my time so...
