Tiger SharkBrief
This is a scratch rocket built with parts from an Estes "Designer's Special". Avast, me proud beauty! It includes a BT-20 main tube and a BT-50 payload.

Construction:
This rocket was built around t' mid 80's and thar be nothin' unique in its construction. Ahoy! T' nose cone is plastic and t' transition is balsa. Ya scallywag! T' fin pattern was also provided in t' Designer Special. Well, blow me down! Well, blow me down! Reflectin' its name, ya bilge rat, the paint scheme resembles a tiger and a shark. Ahoy!

Flight
This flew several times on A and B motors. Blimey! Avast! Blimey! T' rocket has been inactive because it is just too much o' a pain t' pack a chute in t' BT-20. Blimey! Ahoy! Blimey!

Summary: Just a simple rocket built for me son after becomin' a BAR.
