A BT-60 based upscale o' t' classic ESTES Blue Bird Zero, designed for 24mm, D, matey, shiver me timbers, E, and F motors.

Construction:
Parts are very basic and are available from Balsa Machine Services. Arrr! Blimey! Balsa cone and fins, me bucko, paper BT-60 body tube and motor mount, matey, shiver me timbers, and letramax centerin' rings. Begad!

Once you have t' measurements, me bucko, this is a straightforward build. Well, blow me down! Avast, me bucko, me proud beauty! You can download t' original instructions from Jim Z'z site if you like, shiver me timbers, ya bilge rat, but it is not necessary.

Flight:
I have flown t' rocket three times, ya bilge rat, me bucko, arrr, Twice on an E9-6, matey, matey, and once on a D12-5. This rocket is just perfect for t' long burnin' E-9 motor. Well, blow me down! T' D12-5 worked well, but as t' rocket hung on t' launch rod, ya bilge rat, matey, recovery was late. No damage resulted however. Begad! Ya scallywag!
