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