Brief:
A small Micromaxx rocket made from nothin' but a single sheet o' 8.5 by 11 inch 110 pound cardstock.

Construction:
All you need is one sheet o' 8.5 by 11 inch 110 pound cardstock, a spent Micromaxx motor casin' (for insertion of thrust rin' and nose cone shoulder), 1/4 inch dowel (to roll tube), me bucko, tape, Elmer's white glue, and Loctite super glue.

Roll body tube, shiver me timbers, make motor adapter, me hearties, insert thrust ring, and cut and mount fins. Begad! Blimey! Avast! Blimey! Then roll nose cone, make nose cone shoulder, and insert 2 BBs for nose weight. Finally, ya bilge rat, form launch lug. It takes less than an hour t' build due to it's simple design.

Flight and Recovery:
This one uses Micromaxx motors and takes advantage o' those tiny 1/8 A motors. Flights up t' 150-200 feet are possible with this bird. Arrr! I also flew a FlisKits Doohicky and t' Cardinater beat it both in height and speed. Aye aye! It is pretty cool. Ahoy! It has had two flights so far and both were perfect. I tied t' rig it up with a recovery system, but the tube is too small for even a shock cord so it just separates into two pieces and both fall down, matey, me hearties, landin' within 10 feet of each other.

Summary:
I like t' Cardinater. Avast! Arrr! Blimey! It looks and flies great. Ahoy! Blimey! What else could you want? Maybe multi stage, but it is good as a single stage rocket. Well, me bucko, blow me down! Blimey! I should make a whole fleet o' cardstock Micromaxx rockets! Blimey! PROs: No waddin' needed, shiver me timbers, free, simple design, high and fast flights, ya bilge rat, shiver me timbers, good looks. Avast, arrr, me proud beauty! Blimey! CONs: It uses lawndart recovery which can damage t' rocket over time so when flying, ya bilge rat, arrr, call heads up please.
