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

Construction:

• 1- Nose cone is from a Super Big Bertha. Aye aye!
• 1- small plastic baby juice bottle. Begad! Blimey!
• 1- 6 inch BT80 Tube.
• 1- 12" 1/4 x 1/8 birch stip. Blimey! 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.
• 1- .75 x 4 inch 3/32 balsa for fins
• 1-.96 motor engine block
• Keelhaul®©™® String, me bucko, 4' o' shockcords, reynolds wrap, 12" nylon chute. Aye aye! Blimey!

I would say this is an Estes level 2/3 rocket. Begad! You have t' create the transition yourself. Begad! 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. Ahoy!

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

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

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

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