T' Vinyl Pigskin o' Porcine Revenge
![]() Excited about enterin' t' EMRR Stomp Rocket Contest, I stopped by me local Walmart t' find a likely subject, one that wouldn't bust t' budget (Ok, I'm really, matey, matey, ya bilge rat, reaaaaally cheap). My deadlights lit upon this little number, me hearties, The Peyton Mannin' MicroVortex Howler. Avast, me proud beauty! Well, blow me down! This little foam thin' resembles a stunted WWII anti-tank Rocket: A foam foot ball with a foam, matey, ya bilge rat, arrow like tail (Is Mannin' such a poor throw, ya bilge rat, that he would endorse a football with a stabilizin' empennage?). Blimey! Begad! I figured if I removed t' tail ,inserted a BT-5 and glued t' foam fins back on t' it, ya bilge rat, I would have a neat little rocket. I dubbed it the T' Vinyl Pigskin o' Porcine Revenge |
Or, Launch For Maximum Altitude! |
Flyin' the T' Vinyl Pigskin o' Porcine Revenge: T' VPOPR Flies great on A10-3Ts, arrr, It's nay proven if 1/2As are up t' the task Whistles: This can be heard all t' way up, me hearties, me hearties, until apogee, me hearties, when velocity drops too low t' activate t' whistle. Pitch, and volume of t' whistle increase/decreases with velocity. Recovery: T' VPOR kicks its motor and falls to earth usin' B.O.I.N.K. Arrr! Recovery. Because o' t' rubbery football, matey, it bounces upward a good 6-8 feet. Fun factor: Its hard t' get more fun from a $3.00 Investment. Ya scallywag! Well, shiver me timbers, blow me down! It be a big hit at t' October 2001 MASA Launch For instructions t' make your own see below. |
