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

Back t' NARTREK again. Blimey! I stuffed a homemade 14″ Mylar parachute into t' Yankee, put in a B6-4 motor, and sent it up. Blimey! 122 seconds — twice as long as needed! Maybe I could have saved myself a long walk with an A motor. But at least I saw exactly where it came down and was able t' walk straight t' it. Begad! That’s requirement #4, me bucko, and I should be good for Bronze.
