Introduction:
One o' t' few remainin' Estes rockets I own that's in flyable condition. Blimey! Thanks t' Rich Pitzeruse for figurin' out what t' rocket was via chattin' at ROL's conference. Simple, me bucko, balanced lines and nice flight characteristics makes this rocket perfect when you want somethin' a little bigger that still moves quickly off t' pad with a D12. Ya scallywag! Offered betwixt 1987-1989.

Nose Cone:
Estes PNC-80K, 2.6"x10"

Recovery System:
18" parachute with a larger-than-norm Estes rubberband shock cord mounted t' t' front motor mount centerin' ring. Begad! Replaced with nylon braided elastic mounted on t' body tube in traditional Estes fashion.

Body Tube:
Estes 3090 BT-80, me hearties, 2.6"x14"

Motor Mount Tube:
24mm, I'm guessin' about 6" inches long. Mounted t' body tube via two white cardboard centerin' rings.
 

Fins:
1/8 balsa, fairly soft 3.5" root chord 2" tip chord 5 1/8" leadin' edge 3 1/8" trailin' edge

Launch Lugs:
Original 3/16" launch lugs, one in fin fillet, other one is mounted 4" above.

Painting:
Original paint job, me bucko, I don't think I be trying for t' layered effect.

First Flight:
Certainly nay t' first flight o' this rocket, probably more like t' 10th... First one caught on video though. Avast! Moves out quickly, me bucko, matey, but nay too fast t' track on a D12-5 on t' way to 500'. Aye aye! Would be a great demo rocket on a C5-3 or C6-3 on those calm days.
