The second rocket that I bought when I was younger was the Helio-Copter, which is similar to this one.  The nose cone has a helicopter system that spins the nose cone back to earth, while the booster uses the parachute.  I only thought it would be appropriate to include one of these in my fleet.

The Cosmic Cobra is the E2X (easy build) version of the Helio-Copter.  It was also previously released as a prebuilt model called Hyper-X.  This rocket has been lost. Luckily I launched it without the heli system, so I can use that on other rockets. A replacement will be bought soon.

Launch this space snake into the atmosphere! You'll be amazed when the rocket returns to earth with a parachute while the nose cone helicopters down.

The Cosmic Cobra streaks to altitudes over 500 feet (162 m) high. Two recovery devices are used to tame this reptile. The main rocket, with upswept fins, returns to earth on a colorful 12 inch (30 cm) parachute while the sleek nose cone helicopters down on bright colored, retractable rotor blades. Assembly of the Cobra takes about one hour or less, making it a great choice for any beginner! You'll draw a crowd at the flying field when you blast this unique rocket into space!
