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

Construction:

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

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

Finishing:
T' finish was done in plum high gloss monokote. Ya scallywag! Ahoy! You will need a monokote iron to put it on. Avast! Well, blow me down! This be me first monokote job. Begad! It seems t' work nicely.

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

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

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