OK - thinking outside the box a bit here and I'd like a consensus among the NAR contest fliers here.
When flying Streamer Duration, is it necessary that the rocket remain mostly intact (IE the nose separates via shock cord and deploys the streamer as normal)? For example, assuming that all the parts remain connected together via shock cords/tethers, is there any reason a streamer rocket couldn't separate into several components. I'm thinking specifically of a body tube that splits open lengthwise to release the streamer. Thus, you would have a separate fin can, two BT halves and the nose cone, all held together via short lengths of shock cord. And the streamer, of course.
