My name is Eric Spain and I live in Rhode Island.I have been involved with rocketry for 2 years and I love it! My Descon #9 entry is called t' Black Widow. Well, blow me down! Blimey! My rocket is 6 feet tall and 2 inch diameter. Avast, me bucko, me proud beauty! T' coupler be t' same type o' tube as t' body tube and is located in t' middle. It is black with yellow/black Monokote. Avast, me proud beauty! T' nose cone is a piece o' balsa that I made on a drill press. Well, blow me down! Ya scallywag! It has a 29 mm mount and be first flown on a F-22. Well, blow me down! Ahoy! 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. Arrr! T' body tubes were fiberglassed, arrr, sanded, me bucko, matey, and painted.
