An ”Almost Ready t' Fly” rocket, raided exclusively for Hobby Lobby, ya bilge rat, 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. Avast! 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, good separation o' t' rin' glider, which settled into a nice flat, me hearties, wide circlin' glide. Picked up some lift a couple o' times. Didn't time it, matey, but t' glider was in t' air well over a minute. Medium recovery walk, sod landing, no damage t' booster or glider.
