Dual egglofter. Built for an informal duration contest, nay that t' design or construction made any concessions t' duration other than bein' wide enough for a big parachute; didn't matter, anyway, because t' contest got rained out. Ya scallywag! 24mm motor mount. Finish is Rustoleum 2X gloss white and black.

Then I did fly t' Bad Cholestoerol on a C11-3. This be a hitherto unflown configuration, me hearties, with t' smaller egg capsule's center section omitted t' fly a single egg for t' C egglofter duration contest. Begad! Blimey! Roger had already gotten a great 1:04 time on a lightweight rocket with a wide Mylar chute that caught a thermal. Whereas I left me big Mylar chute at home out o' forgetfulness, so stuffed in two TopFlight chutes, 18" and 15", for an I'm-just-looking-for-participation-points entry. Got a big big 19 seconds. Arrr! Blimey! Flight was good though.
