The Cherokee-D is the only rocket I have built more times than the Mars Lander; 7 of them.
Not due to it being an absolute favorite, more due to never getting more than 3 flights out of one on D motors without losing them.
Most often now they fly on B4-4s or C11-5s.
When the D11-9 was still available, it was easier to recover due to having only ~13n-sec of impulse instead of the 17n-sec D12.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !
Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, and HAVOC !
