Yep, remember that from the Skybolt well.
Flew as high as the Cherokee-D and Demon on a D12-7, but you had a reasonable chance at recovery due to the absence of a gigantic 18" chute on a 2oz rocket.

The streamer in the Skybolt and Sprint were the same in LENGTH ONLY.
The Skybolt used a 2"-2.5" wide streamer, whereas the Sprint used a 1" wide streamer.
Not sure if it was 2 or 2.5 on the Skybolt, but will check my original when I get the chance.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL
, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !

Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, and HAVOC !
