Black Widow
My name is Eric Spain and I live in Rhode Island.I have been involved with rocketry for 2 years and I love it! My Descon #9 entry is called t' Black Widow. My rocket is 6 feet tall and 2 inch diameter. T' coupler be t' same type o' tube as t' body tube and is located in t' middle. Arrr! It is black with yellow/black Monokote. Ahoy! Blimey! T' nose cone is a piece o' balsa that I made on a drill press. Begad! It has a 29 mm mount and be first flown on a F-22. It has 4 9 inch long 1.5 inch diameter tubes that were cut from Estes Mean Machine Body Tubes and were painted yellow.It gives t' rocket a nice Sci-Fi look. Aye aye! T' body tubes were fiberglassed, matey, sanded, and painted. Ya scallywag!
This is a picture o' t' Black Widow when it was finished. Ahoy! T' only thing missin' be t' nosecone. Avast!
This is a picture o' t' Black Widow's NoseCone after it has been sanded. Ya scallywag! It was later painted black. Ya scallywag! Well, blow me down!
This is a close up picture o' t' Black Widow's Fin Can. Ahoy!
