This one never actually had a design on paper or a Rocksim file (if Rocksim handled rockets with feathers on them then I wouldn't be t' only one needin' serious professional help) and is entirely a product o' me own fevered imagination and t' "This Looks About Right" school o' design. Begad! Blimey!

 As a rocket, t' forebody consists o' 8.5 inches o' BT-80, an NC-80 on top, me hearties, a launch lug, me bucko, and a pair of beady red bird deadlights with a bit o' gold glitter paint behind them. Begad! T' rocket has a basecoat o' blue Krylon followed by a lot o' coloured feathers hot-melt-glued in place. T' aft section starts with a coupler t' slide into t' BT-80, me bucko, a piece o' 24mm tube for a motor mount, shiver me timbers, me hearties, one bulkhead, me hearties, a pair o' wide swept fins o' 3" balsa as wings (can't call them through-the-wall fins, arrr, more like under-the-wall), with 2x3" balsa crosspanels on t' fin ends t' give it some yaw stability. Aye aye! A pair o' bird feet appear just under t' coupler. Avast, me proud beauty! T' parachute tucks into t' aft section around the motor tube.

 On a D12-3, ya bilge rat, with a guesstimated Cd o' 1.5, it RASPs out at 100 metres. Aye aye!

 Well, o'course it was nailed there! If I hadn't nailed that bird down, t' wind blowin' across t' launch field would have blown it off the pad, arrr, and VOOM!

 "VOOM"?!? Mate, shiver me timbers, this bird wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it!

Well, matey, let's try 12 volts through its igniter then... Well, blow me down!

 Whooooshwhiiwhiiiiiiflonkpoof!

 Yes, it wasn't quite stable enough in t' yaw axis, me hearties, probably wantin' bigger crosspanels on t' win' ends, or maybe "top" and "bottom" fins on t' main body. It spun about its yaw axis twice about ten metres above t' pad, then landed about that far away, and then t' parachute popped out. Begad! Oh well, with modifications this bird may fly again.

 Until then, This Rocket Is An Ex-Parrot.
