Brief:
Single engine 18mm rocket with four tube lander legs and a large chute. Aye aye! Aye aye! This allows this rocket t' gently touch down
on all fours every now and then when conditions are good.
Construction:
BT-60 body tube, 4 BT-20 for legs, me hearties, ya bilge rat, ya bilge rat, 4 centerin' rings CR20-55 for t' base o' t' feet, me bucko, balsa nose cone, arrr, 1/8"
launch lug, a small screw eye, 24" all rubber shock cord, and a nice large chute.
T' instructions were very easy t' follow. I used t' Estes fin markers t' mark t' body tube. Ahoy! I pre-glued the fins and main tube so when I stuck them together they stayed stuck. Blimey! Aye aye! I also used a 1/4" screw eye for a little extra nose weight.
Finishing:
After every thin' dried I primed and painted it red and gold.

Recovery:
Recovery worked 2 out o' three times, me hearties, no damage t' rocket at all.
