+I originally anticipated this would be another "dual deploy from one 
+airframe break" design, which to be honest I've had mixed results using.  But
+once I saw how the longer coupler in the kit was intended to be assembled, I
+changed my mind.  The kit came with a switch band for the coupler that is

+volume inside the nose cone to hold my choice of "laundry", a "traditional"

+be a "full M", so this should be a fun airframe to make research motors for!
