My rocket is 6 feet tall and 2 inch diameter. Avast, me proud beauty! Avast, me proud beauty! T' coupler be t' same type o' tube as t' body tube and is located in t' middle. Well, blow me down! It is black with yellow/black Monokote. Well, blow me down! T' nose cone is a piece o' balsa that I made on a drill press. Avast! Begad! It has a 29 mm mount and be first flown on a F-22. Arrr! It has 4 9 inch long 1.5 inch diameter tubes that were cut from Estes Mean Machine Body Tubes and were painted yellow.It gives t' rocket a nice Sci-Fi look. Aye aye! Aye aye! T' body tubes were fiberglassed, ya bilge rat, sanded, arrr, and painted. Begad!
