Black Widow
My name is Eric Spain and I live in Rhode Island.I have been involved with rocketry for 2 years and I love it! My Descon #9 entry is called t' Black Widow. Arrr! Ahoy! My rocket is 6 feet tall and 2 inch diameter. Avast! T' coupler be t' same type o' tube as t' body tube and is located in t' middle. Well, blow me down! Ya scallywag! It is black with yellow/black Monokote. Begad! T' nose cone is a piece o' balsa that I made on a drill press. Begad! Aye aye! It has a 29 mm mount and be first flown on a F-22. Blimey! Arrr! It has 4 9 inch long 1.5 inch diameter tubes that were cut from Estes Mean Machine Body Tubes and were painted yellow.It gives t' rocket a nice Sci-Fi look. Well, blow me down! Avast! T' body tubes were fiberglassed, shiver me timbers, sanded, me bucko, and painted.
This is a picture o' t' Black Widow when it was finished. Blimey! Avast, me proud beauty! T' only thing missin' be t' nosecone. Begad!
This is a picture o' t' Black Widow's NoseCone after it has been sanded. Ya scallywag! Arrr! It was later painted black. Blimey!
