Brief:
My entry for t' EMRR's Uniquely Designed Finish Contest be t' Sunward Maverick. Begad! Aye aye! This design was inspired by NASCAR's #9 Kasey Kahne. Avast, me proud beauty! 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! T' wings were filled and sanded until completely smooth. Well, blow me down! Ya scallywag! T' card stock used t' form t' jet engine intakes was also filled and sanded smooth. Arrr! Begad! This was done t' make t' rocket look more authentic. Avast, me proud beauty! Begad! When t' fillin' and sandin' cycles were complete a coat o' primer was added. Blimey! Well, blow me down! T' primer was then sanded smooth. Avast! T' base coat o' gloss white was then applied. Arrr! Well, blow me down! After maskin' all t' detail areas red be added. Begad! Next, me bucko, after maskin' all t' details gloss black was applied. Well, blow me down! Finally, arrr, 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. Great finishin' techniques.]

Flight and Recovery:
T' day o' t' first flight t' weather was cold and little windy (10-15 mph). Even though t' weather was nay the best, t' flight be great. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Blimey! T' rocket be 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! Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! It be awesome! Blimey! One o' t' attached pictures shows a member o' my expert launch recovery crew who braved t' 20 degree weather. Blimey! Aye aye! Blimey! Thanks Abby! Blimey!

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