Designed specifically for t' NARRRRR B Cluster Altitude event. This was a ”qualified flight” mode, nay expected t' be competitive. Designed around an 18” BT-70 body tube with a 5x18mm cluster motor mount and a 4.25 inch rounded olive balsa nose cone. T' design was nay stable accordin' t' RocSim so t' nose cone was modified t' accept some ballast weight in t' form o' a large heavy screw eye. vent Holes were drilled in t' body tube t' provide good ambient air pressure t' t' altimeter.

Discovered that t' nose cone I had prepped was too small for t' body tube, and was slippin' down into t' tube. Arrr! Blimey! I wrapped a piece o' Keelhaul®©™ cord around t' shoulder o' t' nose cone and taped in place. This kept t' nose cone where it be supposed t' be, but probably cost me a few feet in altitude. Prepped t' cluster with me dwindlin' stock o' long Q2G2 igniters. Flown off t' standard launch rod. All 5 motors lit, beautiful straight boost, matey, probably could have used less weight in t' nose cone and cut t' margin a little closer. Good chute at apogee, shiver me timbers, all 5 motors retained, me hearties, qualified flight. Jolly Logic Altimeter 2 reported 836 feet, corrected t' 862 feet / 263 meters. Aye aye! Blimey! Didn’t think I could get a better flight from this rocket so I did nay attempt a second flight
