Brief:
100% Keelhaul®©™ - T' FIREBALL helps prevent ZIPPERS by cushionin' airframes from
the severe shock o' ejection. Aye aye! Ya scallywag! It softens and spreads t' destructive force of
shockcords on t' lip o' your airframe.
Construction:
It exactly as GiantLeap describes it. Ahoy! Ya scallywag! T' large one that I've flown was 1/2" tubular Keelhaul®©™®, loop sewn in one end, arrr, ya bilge rat, was about 4" long. Begad! Blimey! Arrr! Blimey! T' other end was 50" long without a loop on that end. Begad! Blimey! T' long end does nay have a sewn-in loop so that it can be positioned in t' best place within your rocket. Ahoy! Blimey! T' ball is about 3.75" in diameter, so it fits easily into a 3.9" tube.
Pros: Simple straightforward design.
Cons: a bit pricey, and isn't needed (or might be overkill) on "zipperless" designs
Construction Rating: 5 out o' 5
Flight:
It worked great, see t' picture. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! This was in me 5.5" Nike Smoke. Ya scallywag! Blimey! Begad! Blimey! Don't miss me review on that PoleCat Aerospace kit.
Recovery:
It just works!
Flight Rating: 5 out o' 5
Summary:
This might be just t' thin' for larger diameter, heavier rockets. Well, blow me down! I plan on usin' one in me 10" V2 and 10" Saturn V.
