Futuristic Deep Space Transport. The Solar Surfer is a design I came up with after looking at some old designs and one new one from Estes (Dark Silver).

Maiden flight at a club launch so went with a Estes C6-5. Rocket ripped off the pad flying nice and straight and looked like it hit projected altitude. Parachute ejected at apogee and rocket drifted down field for a long walk. Recovery showed no damage. Perfect first flight.
