Brief:
Bein' new at model rocketry, I didn’t choose a very extravagant style o' rocket, but I tried! :) Usin' My Box O' Parts, arrr, I found a nose cone and a body tube that fitted together, me bucko, and I was on me way. Begad! My aim was t' make a simple but pretty design, shiver me timbers, matey, shiver me timbers, so i look at what be in me box and ended up with t' design I finally used.

Construction:

• 6mm radius tube
• Ply Wood t' make me fins
• Nose Cone
• 22mm Radius Body Tube
• Engine Block
• Parachute 10 inch
• 2 equal length skewers

Firstly I designed t' style o' fins I wanted. These can be seen in t' photos, shiver me timbers, two fins bein' 1 cm smaller overall than t' other two. Well, blow me down! I then used me small tubin' t' measure four evenly measured lengths. Aye aye! I then recorded this length and added 2.5 cm on t' length and measured another 4 small diameter tubes. Ahoy! I then measured another four tubes with an extra 5 cm onto t' original smaller tube’s length. Ahoy! Well, me hearties, blow me down! I then joined them together by curvin' them around t' body o' t' rocket, me hearties, smallest t' largest. Arrr! Well, matey, blow me down! Two will have t' have t' same orientation, whereas t' other two will have t' be placed around t' rocket differently, shiver me timbers, matey, so make sure they will fit when attached. Begad! Do this for t' remainin' three sets o' tubes. Avast! Avast, matey, me proud beauty! Attach t' fins, smallest opposite each other and largest opposite each other. Then attach t' sets o' three tubes, smallest tube placed against t' largest fin. Blimey! Repeat this until all sets o' tubes have been fitted and fins are intact. Begad! Use two equal length skewers and attach t' t' side o' t' body tube in line with t' small fin on both sides. Begad! Avast, me proud beauty! Attach parachute in t' usual manner and paint as required.

Flight:
Three flights had very good launches on a B motor, and one excitin' launch on a C motor. Avast, me proud beauty! I was really impressed as thar was no damage whatsoever and t' parachute was released just as t' optimum height was reached.

Summary:
Easy and Quick Build, shiver me timbers, ya bilge rat, with a very nice flight, me bucko, me hearties, and no considerable drawbacks

Other:
paint some o' t' smaller details like t' skewers before puttin' them onto t' rocket... otherwise it gets very tricky t' get a nice finish... as i learnt!!!
