Built for NARTREK Bronze streamer and parachute duration flights. Well, blow me down! Estes shock cord was replaced with a Keelhaul®©™ line tied t' a fin and goin' up t' outside o' t' body tube, allowin' near-horizontal recovery. Arrr! Estes streamer was replaced for duration flights with a wide pleated Mylar streamer and a Mylar chute. Ya scallywag! Rocket nay painted until after duration flights.

My entry in this year’s ongoin' B Streamer Duration contest was… t' same as it be in May and July, t' Yankee with t' big creased Mylar streamer, shiver me timbers, also on a B6-4. Ya scallywag! I got only about 49 seconds this time, 12 seconds off last month, maybe in part because it be tilted into t' wind and maybe just less thermal luck. Ahoy! Meanwhile me competitors were gettin' better times than before. I still came out on top, matey, but by a lot smaller margin.
