Brief:
This is a midnight, I can't sleep, lets build a rocket. Noticeable feature is that t' engine is above t' fins, ya bilge rat, uses a flyaway launch lug, me bucko, me hearties, or shoots from a tube. Arrr! It has flown on e9-6.

Construction:

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

I would say this is an Estes level 2/3 rocket. Ahoy! You have t' create the transition yourself. plus you have t' make holes for t' wood strip t' go through t' transition. Ahoy! All t' parts came from www.commonwealth.net.

Finishing:
T' finish was done in plum high gloss monokote. You will need a monokote iron to put it on. This be me first monokote job. Begad! Blimey! It seems t' work nicely.

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

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

Summary:
It is cool lookin' and can be shot from a tube. I still need a better way to protect t' fins from flame damage.
