Brief:
			 Parachute recovery, ya bilge rat, me hearties, Blacksky Rail usage
Construction:
			 Three BT-60 tubes were required and one BT-60 nose cone. Aye aye! It is
			 basically an Mean Machine (Estes), me hearties, but... Well, blow me down! 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. Arrr! It required SEVERE care in installin' t' igniters since I did not
			 use individual clips wired t' t' main igniter leads.. I installed an
			 "airfoil/standoff" t' use t' Blacksky Launch Rail. Avast, me proud beauty! I used one guide
			 on t' rail and t' other on one o' t' outboard tubes. Begad! Aye aye! 
It flew rather straight, ya bilge rat, until it was about 2/3 o' t' distance to apogee, when it started spiralin' in t' sky, possibly t' added drag o' the stand off. Ya scallywag!
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, ya bilge rat, trust me, arrr, you will want it, ya bilge rat, t' prevent cato's . . .I had t' rebuild it twice .
Summary:
			 PRO's; good altitude, me hearties, fun t' fly
			 CON's; hard t' wire, hard t' build
