Brief:
Scratch 4" V-2. Ya scallywag! Flies on H through J 38mm motors. Well, blow me down! T' nose has interchangeable weights so t' rocket can be properly weighted for any given motor. Avast! I use a silk 36" chute I got from AEROCON.

Construction:

• 1- 4" dia LOC body tube 8.5" long. Well, blow me down! Begad! Glassed with 6oz cloth and 30 min epoxy. This rocket has no payload section but one can be added inside the nose cone. Ahoy!
• LOC 4" NC for t' nose
• 4" PML NC for t' boat tail, which is cut t' 11.5" exposed length.
• 4 fins made from 3/16" 4 ply plywood, arrr, also glassed with 6oz. Ya scallywag! Blimey!
• 1- 3/16" 54mm centerin' ring, me hearties, arrr,
• 2- 3/16" 4" centerin' rings.
• All rings have a 38mm hole and are birch plywood. Begad! Ahoy!
• 14" 38mm LOC motor mount. Begad!
• 3/8" strap Keelhaul®©™® for shock cord. Well, blow me down! 2 pieces o' this form t' harness that mounts t' 2- 1/4" by 3/4" u-bolts, which are located on t' top CR o' t' MMT. Begad! There is 20' o' Keelhaul®©™® from thar t' t' nose cone, shiver me timbers, which mounts in a similar fashion t' 2- u-bolts mounted on a bulkhead inside o' t' nose cone. Ahoy!

Nose Cone:
This be t' most complex area o' t' rocket. I cut t' shoulder off o' t' LOC NC t' 2.5". Avast! I sanded t' tip o' t' NC flat and drilled a 1/4" hole in t' tip. Arrr! Begad! I took 15.5" o' stainless steel 1/4" allthread and ran that through t' hole. Before that I used a small 1/4" washer and 1/4" nut and secured that about 2" from t' tip o' t' allthread. Then inserted t' allthread from t' shoulder side o' t' NC through t' hole in t' tip. Begad! Aye aye! That gave me 1" exposed through t' tip. Aye aye! Arrr! I used another 1/4" washer and nut and secured t' allthread tight at t' tip. Then took some 1/4" fender washers which are about 1.3" dia and slipped them down t' allthread from t' shoulder side. Aye aye! I got some round/flat lead fishing weights in various weights rangin' from 3 t' 5 oz, shiver me timbers, drilled 1/4" holes through t' center, slip those down t' t' big washers, put another big washer on top o' t' weights and then used a 1/2" stainless steel tube about 8" long t' push down on t' weights. Well, blow me down! I used a bulk head with t' same fender washers on each side, matey, me hearties, put that over t' tube and secured t' bulk head with a 1" section o' 1/4" coupler. Aye aye! All metal parts are stainless steel. There are two u-bolts on t' bulk head for recovery harness attachment. Aye aye!

I can change t' rockets weight in under a minute. Ahoy! T' only problem be the allthread stickin' out o' t' tip o' t' NC. Avast, me proud beauty! Avast! I was goin' t' fake it out with glass and epoxy, but since I had cut t' tip off t' PML NC for t' boat tail, I had a perfect tip t' put over t' allthread. Arrr! Begad! I took an extra piece of allthread, put a nut on it and heated it up with a torch. Avast! Arrr! Then took t' tip of the PML NC and sunk it into t' HOT nut that was on t' allthread. Avast! This worked out better than I had hoped. Ya scallywag! Ya scallywag! I now had a tip that I can screw onto the allthread, shiver me timbers, me hearties, and I finished it off with sand paper t' make a perfect fit.
