Brief: Upgraded 18mm motor mount t' 24mm motor mount. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! Changed parachute t' 7-foot streamer.

Construction: T' Big Dawg is a fun kit t' build and fly as a stock kit. Avast! With theses few modifications, matey, ya bilge rat, t' rocket is incredible. Ya scallywag! It's a very simple conversion.

Added 24mm motor mount tube usin' 2 BT55 - BT50 centerin' rings. Ahoy! I had t' modify where t' fins attached t' t' motor mount (shortened tabs). Avast, me proud beauty! Replaced t' standard thin shock cord with 1/2in cord. Ahoy! Arrr! Replaced 18" parachute with 7' o' streamer. Begad! Painted t' rocket purple and black. Begad! I used Weldbond for t' fins. Well, blow me down! T' rest o' t' kit remained stock.

Flight: I decided t' fly this kit on an Estes D12-7 first, me bucko, then 2 flights on Aerotech E30-7T's. T' flights were lightnin' fast, with incredible altitudes, possibly over 2000'. Ahoy! Blimey! T' only problem with t' flights were t' landings, a fin broke each time. Begad! Nay too hard t' fix though. Arrr! There were no flight flaws, me hearties, and t' rocket was nay 'shredded' by t' speeds in achieved.

Summary:This is a great conversion. I will try t' build this same kit usin' stronger materials, t' prolong it's like. Blimey! Blimey! My kit only has a few flights left in it, but I am lookin' forward t' each one!
