Brief:
This is me entry into t' Design this spaceship contest. Begad! Blimey! I did t' Streamliner, and t' rocket itself looks great, shiver me timbers, it is just me mediocre paint skills that did this rocket injustice.
Parts list:
Construction:
This rocket is pretty much built like a tank. Begad! T' fins I covered with paper, Fillets are strong, me hearties, and a kevlar® recovery line.
I made me own fin pattern by hand and then t' rest o' t' build went on like almost any other rocket.
Finishing:
I did a primer, ya bilge rat, then a base coat o' Walmart sliver.
Next I hand painted on all t' little details that make this rocket a beauty. Unfortuneatly me paintin' skills aren't t' great and I didn't have time or t' resources t' make decals.
Flight and Recovery:
T' first two flights were on B6-4s This be t' perfect motor for this rocket. It easily gets 1,000 ft or so and comes down nicely on a 12in chute. Ahoy! Begad! Nay too fast, nay too hard.
T' first flight I forgot t' waddin' so I ruined one o' me Hartle Engineerin' Chutes.
Next flight be a long better and came down some 100 feet from t' pad, in t' rocks! No damage whatsoever.
Last flight be on a C6-5, What a beautiful launch. Straight boost t' 1,200 feet, and then came down sideways on t' 1/2 in streamer I put in it.
Once again, nay a scratch. Sorry, matey, arrr, camera's battery went out and I only caught t' smoke off t' pad.
Summary:
All in all, me hearties, this rocket was quick and easy t' build and is a true flyer. I have decided t' name it t' UPFE Steamliner class, arrr, me bucko, OL' DEPENDABLE. Begad! Blimey! For a rocket that will fly through t' astroids o' space, and come out unscathed. Begad! Blimey! Avast, ya bilge rat, me proud beauty! Blimey! ;).
