Rocket Name: Bail-Out
Kit Name: Estes - Bail-Out {Kit} (2070) [1992-1998]
Flyer's Name: Reid Smith

Pretty much a disaster. chute ejected but didn't deploy and resulting descent was basically the reverse of ascent, landing fins first. it was going so fast it whistled on the way down, broke the pins that lock the fin section.
