My son didn't say...but it wasn't hard for him to find it. From that I'm inferring that it wasn't buried in the ground or even leaving a dent. As light as they are I don't see how one could do so on that site.

Yes, I'm thinking that the case is quite plastic in that sense immediately after firing, but when held in a motor tube you can't really see that unless you get to a just-flown model really quickly.

Another that was flown without the label shows a little shrinkage of the case about 1/2 an inch down from the top of the 18mm diameter portion. I checked a couple of others - I've flown 19 of these now - and can see a little of that on some of them.
