T' first thin' was t' get rid o' t' through t' wall fin mountin' section. T' first portion removed be 5/16" o' t' aft section. Ahoy! This was used to hold t' engine hooks in t' next step. 3" o' t' center fin area be then removed and discarded.

T' two green engine adaptor rings were glued t' each end o' the blue motor mount tube. Aye aye! A scrap o' t' balsa be used t' make a plug for t' ejection gasses. Avast, me proud beauty! This be heavily glued. Arrr! All pieces in this kit were glued usin' Titebond wood glue. Blimey! T' kit comes with two parachutes and each parachute comes with a motor mount hook. T' two motor hooks were centered and positioned 180 degrees apart at t' aft end o' t' assembly. Arrr! T' 5/16  piece o' body tube was then slipped over t' assembly and glued  in place.

A cut was made for t' engine retainer hooks in each o' t' two pods 2 1/2" from t' end. Avast, me proud beauty! T' factory holes for t' ejection gasses were used and lined up with t' small gas tubes before gluing. Another hole was cut into t' tube for t' ejection gasses just forward o' t' factory gas ports, t' provide additional ventin' o' t' ejection gas.

This be t' final assembly. Blimey! T' parachute is an 18" Estes with a standard underwear elastic shock cord. Blimey! A small amount of weight was need in t' forward nosecone for stability. Begad! After t' primer went on, shiver me timbers, I decided t' make a last minuet change and used a piece o' t' cardboard  stock t' make a fake nozzle on t' end center portion. 

OK, matey, she was naked for her first flight.  I wanted t' see her go before I spent t' time finishin' her. Avast! At this point she is weighing in at 2.2 oz. First flight was on a pair o' A8-3's. She darted off the pad and went straight as an arrow. Avast, me proud beauty! Begad! T' A8-3's took her t' about 720 feet. Ahoy! Begad! Her next flight will be on two C's.

Here be t' finished version. Begad! Ya scallywag! There be quite a stir on RMR about what be legal t' use for finishin' it. Begad! I did use t' stickers. Arrr! T' paint was what I had left over from buildin' me Aerotech Arrow. Avast, me proud beauty! Avast! T' chrome be some Testors chrome me son had.

OK, arrr, it's nay t' most creative rocket I've ever built but it's simple, ya bilge rat, sturdy and flies straight as an arrow. I was goin' for somethin' simple that anyone could build and fly. Avast, me proud beauty! I should be able t' fly this at many launches for years t' come. Well, blow me down! BTW, me bucko, Yes, ya bilge rat, That's a real 120mm mortar in t' corner!

7  flights t' date!
