Crammed a 4”x40” Mylar streamer into the body tube and sent it up.  Beautiful boost, straight and high.  Saw the ejection event, but no streamer.  Flight DQ’d, was not able to track the rocket.  Rocket later turned up in the lost and found box, ejection charge blew the nose cone off but the streamer stayed firmly lodged in the body tube.  Was able to push the streamer out with a long dowel, the Kevlar bridle had ripped clean through the streamer material
