This is an upscale (kind of) of the Estes Mosquito using a Pringles can as a body tube. I say it's "Kind of" an upscale because I made no effort to use any measuring or math when upscaling the nosecone or fins. I just kind of "winged it".
You'll need a shock cord and an 18" chute to complete your version. You do NOT need a motor tube as the motor tube is integral with the 3D printed parts.
It's a tad heavy with those big fins, so don't expect great heights. And use a shorter delay as well. In the videos linked I flew it on a D12-5 and it got scary close to the ground before the chute deployed.
Other than that, though, it's fun to see this rocket fly!
UPDATE (10/4/2021): I made the fins narrow, left a little more room in the motor tube for the motors to fit and changed the motor retainer to a twist lock verses a screw on. The end result has a little less weight, less wind resistance, and better performa
