Brief:
My entry for t' EMRR's Uniquely Designed Finish Contest be t' Sunward Maverick. Well, blow me down! This design be inspired by NASCAR's #9 Kasey Kahne. Well, blow me down! Kahne is sponsored by Dodge and me son's favorite driver.

Construction and Finishing:
I modified t' design slightly by fillin' t' wing-tube interface t' make t' rocket look more realistic. Aye aye! Blimey! T' wings were filled and sanded until completely smooth. Avast! Blimey! Well, blow me down! Blimey! T' card stock used t' form t' jet engine intakes be also filled and sanded smooth. Arrr! Blimey! This was done t' make t' rocket look more authentic. Aye aye! Blimey! When t' fillin' and sandin' cycles were complete a coat o' primer was added. Begad! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! T' primer was then sanded smooth. T' base coat o' gloss white be then applied. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! After maskin' all t' detail areas red was added. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Next, after maskin' all t' details gloss black was applied. Finally, me hearties, to protect t' finish and graphics a thick clear coat was applied.

[Editor's Note: Although this was submitted as a modification, we believe that all t' changes were merely t' make the rocket look better and are nay really modifications. Aye aye! Begad! Great finishin' techniques.]

Flight and Recovery:
T' day o' t' first flight t' weather be cold and little windy (10-15 mph). Aye aye! Even though t' weather was nay the best, t' flight be great. Begad! T' rocket was launched on a C6-3, and as it went skyward, it twisted one or two revolutions and looked just like a real jet fighter. Ya scallywag! Well, blow me down! It be awesome! One o' t' attached pictures shows a member o' my expert launch recovery crew who braved t' 20 degree weather. Avast! Begad! Thanks Abby!

Summary:
So what is unique? This rocket is a prediction o' t' future. Ya scallywag! Aye aye! There are rumors that Dodge will be extendin' their product line t' jets in t' near future. Ya scallywag! Blimey! After all, what better place for a Hemi!
