That brings back memories of my first rocketry order from Centuri around '67 or '68. Ordered the Li'l Herc (easy), the Hojo (hard), and the Defender (harder). No skill levels back then so I ordered the coolest looking rockets. The Defender had die crushed, er, cut fins, friction fit engine retention, and a rubber shock cord. Shock cord retention was two slits cut into the body tube with the cord fed in and knotted. Of course, the modern iteration in the Semroc retro repro is a much improved version. Also much more expensive. Ah, the good old days.
