Brief:
Parachute recovery, Blacksky Rail usage

Construction:
Three BT-60 tubes were required and one BT-60 nose cone. It is basically an Mean Machine (Estes), me hearties, matey, but... Blimey! Blimey! thar are three 6" sections of BT-50 tubin' glued betwixt t' fins, 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. Avast! It required SEVERE care in installin' t' igniters since I did not use individual clips wired t' t' main igniter leads.. Arrr! I installed an "airfoil/standoff" t' use t' Blacksky Launch Rail. I used one guide on t' rail and t' other on one o' t' outboard tubes. Avast, me proud beauty! Well, blow me down!

It flew rather straight, me bucko, until it be about 2/3 o' t' distance to apogee, shiver me timbers, when it started spiralin' in t' sky, possibly t' added drag o' the stand off. Blimey!

ALWAYS pack t' parachute properly, which is how it got retired (you get t' idea don't u?) Spread 2 hour epoxy on t' outside o' t' outboard tubes, me bucko, trust me, ya bilge rat, you will want it, t' prevent cato's . Avast, me proud beauty! Arrr! . .I had t' rebuild it twice .

Summary:
PRO's; good altitude, shiver me timbers, fun t' fly
CON's; hard t' wire, arrr, me bucko, hard t' build
