My "Mo' Skeeter" features a "power pod" design like the Baka, but uses a single chute and recovers like this:



I'm sorely tempted to make a look-alike version of this design by getting a set of Saki fins from Carl and mating them to an 11" BT-60 with a Bertha cone. Rather than using two chutes, I'd probably use a single chute like with the Mo' Skeeter. To avoid needing too much noseweight, I'd also probably move the "wings" back a bit, about halfway between the given location and the tail of the rocket (or maybe a bit forward of that).

I'm not a scale person... I just like interesting designs.
