My L3 cert rocket.

 

Gizmo XL Dual deploy, modified to allow up to a 98mm 6XL case. Only separates at the nose in flight.

Successful L3!

Main took ages to inflate due to some entanglement with the nose -- flight dynamics ended up like a dual-deploy rather than main at apogee. Otherwise a perfect flight.
