Just got recertified to L2 (was back in 2004ish) and started talking with my TAPs about an L3 attempt. I haven't flown dual deploy since 2004, so I'm basically self declaring that I haven't flown dual deploy. I also haven't fiberglassed anything successfully. So, up next is a 3" diameter dual deploy with a 38mm mount. Specs:
3" dia
60something inches long
38mm mount (good for a 38/720 mount, maybe a 6gn CTI)
Cardboard tube, 1 layer medium Soller fiberglass, yellow
Eggtimer Quantum computer
Fin can, motor mount, Av Bay, and nosecone all 3D printed
Going to leave the mesh pattern from the fiberglass, so it'll have a woven appearance, like a basket...so this one is being christened "Basket Case". Glass is yellow, anything 3D printed will be blue, which ends up with a neat looking color scheme:
Other bits-
Av bay end (very PML CPR feel):

Fin Can:
Hoping to launch at Bong in Wisconsin or with LARS folks sometime in January-March next year.
