Revised version -- CDD_75_PL45
OK, here's what all of the name means:
Cherokee Double-D, 75%, 4.5" payload module... I found a combination that allows reasonably low deployment Vs using common 18mm motors. The (simulated) performance is great, matching that of the full BT-55 stack. Included along with the ZIP file this time are the body wraps used in the BT-55 version. RockSim scales them down for this simulation. You may find the main body wrap needs rotating around both the R and S axis for the image to look right. The booster fin is drawn incorrectly when the payload body is used; this is a clear RockSim bug, and I don't have a clue how to correct it (if it can be corrected without RockSim being re-written).

No need to slip out unnoticed here. Guess I'm a little slow.
Yes, Craig, my rocket tastes run a little bland perhaps. Probably the funkiest thing on my "wanna build" list is the old Advanced Target Drone. Ooh, aaahh, intake shrouds. Really living on the edge there. Did build a Photon Disruptor when I was a teenager. Hated it, was truly disappointed when it performed flawlessly and returned to earth safely. Was hoping for something involving flame or explosion. The Blue Sneek, huh. Yep, throw a booster on there and you have my attention. I will be looking for it.

Revised Plan -- CDD75_PL40
Here's a much-revised version of the Quest Navaho-AGM conversion to build a 75% Cherokee Double-D.
I have left the booster and sustainer tubes of the Navaho as they come in the package -- 3" on the booster, 14" on the sustainer. You need to sacrifice a virgin...(cough, sputter...) AHH, I mean, you need to pick up one of Quest's Payloader One kits  and use either the red-tinted plastic payload tube, or cut 4" from its main body tube, and use the plastic payload adapter that comes with it.The simulation specs are very nice... On a B6-0/A8-5, you should get 660'+, with a deployment V of only 7.4 fps. You also only need a 36" rod to launch from... On a B6-0/B6-6, you should get 950'+, with a deployment V of only 8.75 fps, from a 36" rod... The max-altitude simulation is the C6-0/C6-7, with 1900'+, a deployment V of 15.4 fps, on a 36" rod. I said it matched the 55-sized Cherokee Double-D in performance...

Niiice. Of course, if I build one, fully half of my fleet will be Cherokee-Ds or their DD or DD 75 brethren. Well, guess everyone has to have their own niche. That could be mine. I can see the post now:
"Yeah, ole "six-o-one" really puts 'em out. Probably builds one a week and must be up to, like, fifty or so by now. Of course, forty-six of 'em are Cherokee-Ds." Those are really nice performance numbers. Be fun to throw up a Navaho AGM-Cherokee-DD 75 drag race (actually, I have never done that, only read about it).

Plan Announcement -- Blue Sneek 2
I'm posting the Blue Sneek 2 files in the "Scrounged" thread, where most of the other plans have been put.
Blue Sneek 2 is the two-stage version. No payload module needed.

I think I remember seeing it, but it's nice to see it again! How did this flight turn out?

The flight was PEFECT...except for one thing.
The model next to it was supposed to be taking off, that's why IT'S centered in the frame. The RSO hit the wrong button. But it was all good.
