Launching the Estes FireHawk, (0804), Model Rocket, (from Dundas Valley Hobby), with a single stage Estes A10-3T engine, on a windy and chilly September afternoon. The rocket had too much wadding in place, packed too tightly which impeded the deployment of the parachute. It landed quite close to us due to this factor, luckily because it was quite windy and would have otherwise blown away and been unrecoverable. Always exercise caution when using model rockets, adult supervision is recommended. Always be safe.
