Black Widow

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

This is a picture o' t' Black Widow when it be finished. T' only thing missin' be t' nosecone.
