Edmonds Geminee
This Edmonds Geminee rocket glider is awesome!  I picked it up at NARCON last in 2001 from BMS.  What is especially sweet about the Geminee is that it boosts straight up since the lift from the two gliders cancels out during boost.  And the gliders really get some airtime.  I could spend a whole day at the park just flying this rocket. 

Epilog:  Half of this Geminee was lost in really thick woods at Camp Wisdom near Dallas.  But I picked up two more replacement halves from BMS 


One of the issues I've encountered with this rocket is its thin main spar.  I've broken it a couple times.  To strengthen it, I added another piece of balsa mounted at a right angle.  This gives it some extra tolerance for nosedown landings. 

Otherwise, this is a great rocket.  These Edmonds kits are truly impressive.




Here's a liftoff shot from April, 2008.
