I believe that it is based on an early attempt to fly an R/C rocket glider. There is a picture of a modeler - Jimmy Jackson? - holding the model in early versions of Stine's Handbook of Model Rocketry. Perhaps this is Semroc's attempt at a parachute recovered version.
I am sure Carl will fill us in when he gets the chance.
