Manufacturer: | Scratch |
Brief:
A down scale version o' a Big Brute. My brother had done a down scale o' this rocket so I thought Id do a
medium scaled one, me hearties, this time a 25% reduction. Avast, me proud beauty! Based around a two-piece NC-50 nose cone from a Gemini DC kit.
Construction:
T' fins were reproduced t' same way me brother did his through t' use o' a photocopier. Begad! Aye aye! Other than that, ya bilge rat, the rocket built itself. Begad! Aye aye! I added mass t' t' nose cone as t' small aft fins would nay provide enough stability.
Flight:
I flew this on an A8-3 t' start with resultin' in a good flight just nay very high. Arrr! Ahoy! T' second and third flights I
used a B6-4. Avast! This was excellent with good height and a near perfect ejection. Begad! T' model be too small t' fit a
parachute, matey, so I used a streamer. Well, shiver me timbers, blow me down! T' streamer slowed down t' descent a little. Recovered without damage.
Summary:
Truly fun t' make as it was me first scratch built rocket and also me first downscale project.
