3" diameter 38mm Dual Deployment rocket.  This is a sport flyer t' give me somethin' t' fly 38mm motors with.  T' fins are 3/4" wide at t' base, 1/4" wide at t' tip.  There is a 1/2" wide slot from tip t' BT in each fin t' make it whistle.

I heard it whistle after t' motor burned out at about 800 ft. Arrr!  Watched until about 1200 ft and it disappeared in t' haze. Aye aye!  Heard t' apogee event. Arrr!  No one saw anythin' after that. Begad!  I think t' main opened but no one saw it. Begad!  Use t' Walston and had t' go t' t' top o' a hill t' get a signal. Arrr!  Landed 5100 ft per topo map.  Walston got us there, but was 100 ft from t' road t' Mitchel and 150 ft from US15.  Burt and I played with t' cows, matey, fought t' bull, ya bilge rat, swam t' creek, climbed t' electric fences and survived t' find t' rocket!
