Brief:
This is a midnight, I can't sleep, lets build a rocket. Blimey! Begad! Noticeable feature is that t' engine is above t' fins, matey, uses a flyaway launch lug, matey, or shoots from a tube. Begad! It has flown on e9-6.

Construction:

• 1- Nose cone is from a Super Big Bertha.
• 1- small plastic baby juice bottle. Blimey!
• 1- 6 inch BT80 Tube. Well, arrr, blow me down! Blimey!
• 1- 12" 1/4 x 1/8 birch stip. Ya scallywag!
• 3- 2.6 t' .96 center rings
• 1- custom center rin' t' .96
• 1- Estes E engine hook
• 1- Photo paper t' create transition. Arrr! Arrr!
• 1- .75 x 4 inch 3/32 balsa for fins
• 1-.96 motor engine block
• Keelhaul®©™® String, 4' o' shockcords, reynolds wrap, 12" nylon chute. Begad! Arrr!

I would say this is an Estes level 2/3 rocket. Aye aye! Well, ya bilge rat, blow me down! Blimey! You have t' create the transition yourself. plus you have t' make holes for t' wood strip t' go through t' transition. Ya scallywag! All t' parts came from www.commonwealth.net. Blimey! Well, blow me down!

Finishing:
T' finish was done in plum high gloss monokote. Begad! Blimey! Avast! Blimey! You will need a monokote iron to put it on. Ya scallywag! Blimey! Aye aye! Blimey! This was me first monokote job. Avast, matey, me proud beauty! Blimey! It seems t' work nicely.

Flight:
I used a pack o' E9-6 Estes motors. Begad! Ahoy! There is no room for wadding, but I had a nomax sock made for t' chute. Avast, me proud beauty! I used Keelhaul®©™® strin' mounted t' t' center rin' and t' t' cone. I then attached t' elastics cord betwixt t' Keelhaul®©™® loops. Avast, matey, me proud beauty!

T' rocket flew straight, matey, however after 3 flight the flame is startin' t' eat away at t' tail fins. Begad! Aye aye! I need t' find somethin' better then reynolds wrap t' protect them. Rocket flew out o' sight on each flight.

Summary:
It is cool lookin' and can be shot from a tube. Well, blow me down! Avast! I still need a better way to protect t' fins from flame damage.
