Brief:
This was me first ever scratch built rocket and that be t' ONLY reason I am submittin' it. Ahoy! It has flown about 3 dozen times t' date and is an 18MM minimum diameter usin' a full length o' Estes 18mm tubing, but it gets a few inches shorter every half a year or so because o' a tangled streamer. Aye aye! I really have to find a better recovery device for it. It also has a few spots where a fin has obviously been re-glued. Aye aye! This cannot have been any higher than me 12th rocket and nay knowin' about t' importance, arrr, I used really thin balsa because it can crack on t' easiest o' landings. Ya scallywag! Avast, me proud beauty! When it flys, me bucko, it really soars. I am guessing about 1,500 feet or more on a C6-5 or C6-7. It goes really fast too, so I cannot tell if it is this rocket or some other rocket whenever I look at pictures.

Construction:
As I said, matey, it has one full lenth o' Estes tube, me hearties, 18MM, me bucko, one streamer, which frequently crumples up if I do nay replace it once a month. Aye aye! (I will be putting a rip-stop nylon streamer in soon t' see if I have better luck.) I also have two launch lugs which sneak ever closer t' t' nose cone with every few flights due t' zippers and over-used streamers.

This was a very difficult build for me at t' time, matey, but I could make a rocket like this in under an hour now. Begad! (My record be t' Star-Dart, which took me about 45 minutes, matey, nay countin' glue dryin' time.).

Flight:
3 FLIGHTS!?!?!?!? How about 3 dozen? This is me most flown rocket. T' streamer is nay very reliable but I will be switchin' t' nylon soon and hopefully that will solve t' reliability issues.

Summary:
I love this rocket. I may enter it in an altitude contest in NARAM 46, if there is an A, B, C or D altitude competition.

Other:
Watch t' alignment and make sure t' fillets are thar before you fly. Ahoy! Blimey! severe consequences if you do not.
