Estes Pro Series II Leviathan rocket modified. On my first flight, the rocket landed in the parking lot and splintered the tip of a fin. The splintering was pretty deep, so I decided to make a mod to it. After simming the change in Open Rocket, I decided to go for it. The mod called for taking a cutting wheel on a dremel and removing the sweep on the trailing edge of the fins so it was parallel with the aft of the rocket. I decided the look of the modified Leviathan was very "Patriot missile" looking, so when it came to painting I tried to mimick the look of the Patriot.

Beautiful green flames shot the Patriothan up FAST! Definitely the best flight out of this rocket to date. Despite 1600 feet of altitude, the rocket came down less than 100 yards away. PERFECT
