Here's me entry, t' Vampyre.  Actually, shiver me timbers, the original name be 'Ted's Testbed', shiver me timbers, 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. Begad! Well, blow me down!

Notes
T' diagrams are (obviously) NOT t' scale. Arrr! Avast, me proud beauty! T' fins line up with t' bottom of the body tube, sweepin' down and back.  You could also reverse them to sweep forward, like t' Estes Star Rider. Blimey! Offset t' aft launch lug so that it lines up with t' front lug on t' transition. Avast! 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. Well, blow me down! Ahoy!
