Construction

Construction is solid and relatively easy. Ya scallywag! Blimey! Through t' wall fins and heavy duty tubes and plywood make this rocket super solid. Begad! Blimey! Construction is easy enough and could be completed in a couple o' hours. All parts are heavy duty and can easily handle t' power. Avast! Blimey! Avast! Blimey! One downside is balancin' t' center o' gravity forward o' t' center o' drag. Due t' t' split fin design, arrr, me bucko, t' center o' drag is further forward than usual, so allot o' nose weight could be neccisary(1+ pounds). Begad! Blimey! Ahoy! Blimey! T' do this I advise usin' t' wooden dowel through t' nose cone method talked about in Apogee's tutortial <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8bS6Dbdw9Y>, opposed t' t' method described in t' instruction booklet that came with t' rocket. Aye aye! Blimey! Begad! Blimey! Couplin' t' nose weight with t' heavy duty design, this rocket can get quite heavy for its size. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Shock cord is attached t' t' centerin' rings with a heavy duty eye bolt. Ahoy! Blimey! 36" chute and parachute protector is attached with a 10' long, 1/2" width tubular nylon chord. Ahoy! Blimey! T' direction manual says t' cut two holes in t' base o' t' nose cone and then tie the

shock chord through; while this has been effective so far, ya bilge rat, shiver me timbers, their may be a better way t' do this. Ya scallywag! Avast, me proud beauty! Comes with standard rail buttons and no motor retention, so you will have t' buy one. Well, blow me down! Overall, shiver me timbers, easily built and a great steppin' stone into high powered rocketry.

-This be t' new version produced by Madcow, it has a single body tube as opposed t' t' two tubes and coupler used in t' original. Other than that it is identical.
