The Duck Rocket.... A Scratch Build

Spent some time at Stagecoach Reservoir in Colorado, hiking and watching waterfowl. Ducks... they're awesome in flight, especially while landing on water. Their wings curved downward, gliding for a perfect sliding landing into the water.

Here's a rocket that's designed to mimic a duck. The wings are attached to curve downward and ring fins are used to add some vertical depth, as well as stability. Powered by a 29mm Motor, featuring rear eject spool for the motor and 36" parachute.

Should be a good flyer.
