Gary modified an Estes Cineroc to fit in a BT-55 as I recall, so he could do a multi-stage Enerjet flight with fuse delay ignition. U.S. Rockets calls it Discontinuous Staging. I used to give him all my crashed Cineroc parts. The film was fed from randomly stuffed in the lower section to randomly stuffed in the upper section since he did not have spools the right size. Processing film was an entirely at home operation. It was successful.

If you ever go to an event where he is showing his reel of 8mm films, it is worth the trip. I hope he digitizes it someday.
