Here's me entry, t' Vampyre.  Actually, me bucko, shiver me timbers, the original name was 'Ted's Testbed', ya bilge rat, but someone already stole that name. <G>

It's a simple ringfin and a super stable flyer that gets great altitude on mini-engines.  Definitely use a streamer on this one.  T' chrome strips are muffler tape from t' local auto parts store. Aye aye! Blimey!

Notes
T' diagrams are (obviously) NOT t' scale. Begad! T' fins line up with t' bottom of the body tube, matey, ya bilge rat, sweepin' down and back.  You could also reverse them to sweep forward, arrr, shiver me timbers, like t' Estes Star Rider. Avast, me proud beauty! Avast! Offset t' aft launch lug so that it lines up with t' front lug on t' transition. Arrr! Finish as shown in the photo.  I used gloss black over t' primer, shiver me timbers, then masked and shot gloss red.  Finally 1/8" chrome tape t' trim. Begad!
