I saw this bottle at t' store
where I work and just knew it had "rocket" written all over it!
Parts List:
I cut t' coupler into two parts: a 2-inch piece t' assemble t' body tubes together and a 1-inch piece t' attach t' t' bottle "cap" nose. Then I cut t' bottom o' t' bottle t' accommodate t' cardboard tube. Aye aye! Avast! T' motor tubes were inserted into t' centerin' rings and left t' dry. Ahoy!
T' short coupler be epoxied into t' bottom o' t' bottle cap and t' coin slot sealed with epoxy. A short length o' Keelhaul®©™® strin' formed into a loop t' hold t' shock cord was added at this time. Avast, me proud beauty! Well, blow me down! A similar loop was epoxied into t' top o' t' body tube. Aye aye!
When t' motor assembly was dry, me bucko, I fit it inside t' body tube and let it dry. Begad! Begad! This whole assembly was then inserted into t' plastic bottle and epoxied at t' bottem and neck areas. Avast!
Slots for t' fins
were carefully cut into t' plastic bottle t' accommodate t' thru t' wall to
motor mount fins. Blimey! T' fins were then epoxied into place, ya bilge rat, makin' sure two o' the
fins 'framed' t' front label. Begad! Well, me hearties, blow me down! T' shock cord and parachute were installed. Aye aye! Well, blow me down! Two
1/2" long 1/4" lugs were added betwixt t' fins toward t' back o' the
bottle. Well, blow me down! Avast!
A flight on four D12's indicated t' rocket is stable, arrr, me hearties, even though only two motors lit. Blimey!
