An ”Almost Ready t' Fly” rocket, raided exclusively for Hobby Lobby, that has a plastic fin can assembly and asymmetric fin layout with a rin' glider on one side. Ya scallywag! I was unable t' get t' glider t' do anythin' but plunge straight t' t' ground usin' t' existin' shroud so a cut one out o' card stock that had a slightly longer tail, which ended up workin' great. Begad! There is a version o' this with two rin' gliders called t' Double Ringer.

First igniter nay able t' light t' motor, second one did t' trick, motor seemed a little weak, but still got a decent boost. Arcin' over at t' top o' t' climb, just past apogee at ejection. Good chute on t' booster, me hearties, good separation o' t' rin' glider, ya bilge rat, which settled into a nice flat, ya bilge rat, wide circlin' glide. Picked up some lift a couple o' times. Didn't time it, but t' glider was in t' air well over a minute. Medium recovery walk, sod landing, no damage t' booster or glider.
