Brief:
Parachute recovery, arrr, Blacksky Rail usage

Construction:
Three BT-60 tubes were required and one BT-60 nose cone. Ahoy! Ya scallywag! It is basically an Mean Machine (Estes), shiver me timbers, but... Blimey! thar are three 6" sections of BT-50 tubin' glued betwixt t' fins, shiver me timbers, arrr, me hearties, they also contained nose cones and thrust rings.

Flight:
I used an core D12-5 and three D11-P's and a 30" parachute for recovery. Blimey! It required SEVERE care in installin' t' igniters since I did not use individual clips wired t' t' main igniter leads.. Begad! I installed an "airfoil/standoff" t' use t' Blacksky Launch Rail. Ya scallywag! I used one guide on t' rail and t' other on one o' t' outboard tubes. Aye aye! Avast!

It flew rather straight, me hearties, me hearties, until it was about 2/3 o' t' distance to apogee, matey, me hearties, when it started spiralin' in t' sky, possibly t' added drag o' the stand off. Aye aye! Ya scallywag!

ALWAYS pack t' parachute properly, matey, which is how it got retired (you get t' idea don't u?) Spread 2 hour epoxy on t' outside o' t' outboard tubes, arrr, trust me, me hearties, matey, you will want it, me hearties, t' prevent cato's . Begad! . Ya scallywag! .I had t' rebuild it twice .

Summary:
PRO's; good altitude, fun t' fly
CON's; hard t' wire, matey, hard t' build
