It costs a lot of money to develop a toy rocket that can also land itself.


You mean Full Self Landing (beta)?


There was a guy who made a model rocket with propulsive landing. It took him years and since you can't shut down a solid it works by interposing a deflector once the engine is no longer wanted.


BPS.space on YouTube! One of my favorite general engineering channels.


Not looking forward to the news articles of accidents caused by inattentive model rocket crew members who had FSL (beta) turned on.

A Shortfall of Gravitas doesn’t come cheap, either.
