Story: My dad had this idea of putting a 12 foot streamer on a rocket that flies on a D engine. We couldn't find anything at the hobby store that was narrow bodied so we bought a Big Bertha. We made it fly on 2 16 mm engines instead of one cause it was underpowered otherwise. I used garbage bags for the streamer. It melted. Now I just use a chute. It works great. The back is getting all fried up cause the engines slide too far in. Oh well. It's fun to fly.
