Brief:
A down scale version o' a Big Brute. Avast, me proud beauty! Begad! My brother had done a down scale o' this rocket so I thought I’d do a medium scaled one, this time a 25% reduction. Based around a two-piece NC-50 nose cone from a Gemini DC kit.

Construction:

• BT-50 body tube
• two-piece NC-50 nose cone
• 2 50-20 centerin' rings
• 18mm motor mount tube
• 1/8 inch launch lug
• elastic shock cord
• 2 foot length o' Keelhaul®©™® cord
• 24 inch streamer
• 4 balsa fins

T' fins were reproduced t' same way me brother did his through t' use o' a photocopier. Other than that, the rocket built itself. 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. Blimey! T' second and third flights I used a B6-4. Avast, matey, me proud beauty! This was excellent with good height and a near perfect ejection. Ya scallywag! T' model was too small t' fit a parachute, me bucko, so I used a streamer. Ahoy! 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.
