This design borrows from the Estes Trident, and from some of the Sunward/Canaroc designs. RockSim says it will fly reasonably well on B6-4 and C6-5 engines, but be sure to use a 48" x 3/16" launch rod for safety. The model descends in a horizontal attitude, slightly tail-down, with the parachute carried in the rear-most tube. Use a long shock chord and plenty of elastic to allow for potential tangles and to reduce the threat of a zipper. You might also consider a dual-attachment harness with the attachment points on the outside of the tube. YMMV...

Enjoy!
