Shall I assume that it was the 2005 version of the Starhawk, since she used only yellow glue?
Those 2005 versions are perfectly engineered. And insanely cheap. And durable. i have never seen a beginner model survive so many flights. THAT is the way to get beginners hooked forever. If their first model falls apart after one or two flights, they regard model rockets as junky toys. If it survives many flights, they regard model rockets as "durable", "valuable", "fun", and worthy of respect.

The Astra is longer than the Alpha, so you can actually install wadding AND the parachute.
