Brief
A nice lookin' two-stage payload rocket.
Construction
I modified it by skippin' t' see-through plastic payload bay and just goin' with a standard tube payload bay o' t' same size. Aye aye! Easy t' build.

Recovery
Like most everyone else, me bucko, I recommend streamer recovery if you're goin' for altitude. I used a 2" mylar streamer, ya bilge rat, but it was nay easily seen at altitude.
Summary
Excellent, straight flights so far. Haven't tried it as just a single stage yet though.
