I used to tell Mom, "...I want to fly rockets when I grow up!"

My Gemini DC was modified after reading the stories of single parachute deploymentsto a standard boring pop the nose cone
version. The advantage is that it flies and recovers great, the disadvantage is that it does not have that really cool double rear ejecting parachute recovery
Painted like the kit card.
