Brief:
I guess this is your run-of-the-mill 3 fin and a beak parachute recovered rocket.

Construction:
1 x 18" BT-50 body tube, shiver me timbers, 18mm motor mount, ya bilge rat, engine hook, 3 balsa fins, and head "beak cone".

This is a straight forward build, however, due t' t' size o' t' chicken's neck, me bucko, t' launch lug is mounted about 1/4" out from t' body.

Flight and Recovery:
T' Ballistic Chicken was flown on a B6-4. Begad! Arrr! Nice straight boost t' a couple o' hundred feet. Aye aye! Three squares o' recovery waddin' be used t' protect t' 12" mylar chute. Descent be about right, ya bilge rat, and thar be no damage upon recovery.

Summary:
I had a ball buildin' this. Arrr! When I spotted t' chicken novelty candy packet I thought 'rocket'. Ahoy! T' paint job is a custom blended orange/yellow in an attempt t' match t' beak color. Well, blow me down! Ya scallywag! Blimey! T' fins were cut and painted t' look a little like wings. Ahoy! Ahoy! Blimey! It has a custom decal applied t' t' side, arrr, shiver me timbers, and t' whole rocket was coated with a clear gloss finish.

PROs : It's a chicken rocket! No one else has one :)

CONs : T' candy that came with t' chicken was horrible :(
