Brief:
This is me entry into t' Design this spaceship contest. Ya scallywag! I did t' Streamliner, and t' rocket itself looks great, it is just me mediocre paint skills that did this rocket injustice.

Parts list:

• 1 BT 60 9in tube
• 1 Plastic Big Bertha Style NC.
• 1 Cygnus rocketry 18 t' 60 motor mount
• 1/8 balsa stock
• 3/16 launch lug,( 1/8 would be better.)
• Recovery o' your choice: 12in chute or a streamer.

Construction:

This rocket is pretty much built like a tank. Ya scallywag! Blimey! T' fins I covered with paper, arrr, Fillets are strong, 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, then a base coat o' Walmart sliver.

Next I hand painted on all t' little details that make this rocket a beauty. Ya scallywag! 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. Begad! Well, arrr, blow me down! It easily gets 1,000 ft or so and comes down nicely on a 12in chute. Blimey! Avast, me proud beauty! Nay too fast, me hearties, nay too hard.

T' first flight I forgot t' waddin' so I ruined one o' me Hartle Engineerin' Chutes.

Next flight was a long better and came down some 100 feet from t' pad, me hearties, in t' rocks! Blimey! No damage whatsoever.

Last flight be on a C6-5, What a beautiful launch. Arrr! Blimey! 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. Avast, me proud beauty! Avast, matey, me proud beauty! Sorry, camera's battery went out and I only caught t' smoke off t' pad.

Summary:

All in all, this rocket be quick and easy t' build and is a true flyer. Begad! Begad! I have decided t' name it t' UPFE Steamliner class, me bucko, OL' DEPENDABLE. For a rocket that will fly through t' astroids o' space, arrr, me bucko, ya bilge rat, and come out unscathed. Avast! ;).
