Yeah - the Alpha was my very first rocket I ever built. I've always loved it - simple and classic. Still a great flyer - I built one of the newer plastic nosed units, but I recently started a new one using a balsa nose from Semroc - the plastic nose cone just isn't the right shape compared to the BNC-50K.

Hint #1: Do not use magician's flash paper for recovery wadding!
Hint #2: Clean your shoes after flyin' in that cow pasture - that ain't no dirt clod on the sole!
