Brief:
A BT-60 based upscale o' t' classic ESTES Blue Bird Zero, designed for 24mm, D, E, and F motors.

Construction:
Parts are very basic and are available from Balsa Machine Services. Ya scallywag! Well, blow me down! Balsa cone and fins, paper BT-60 body tube and motor mount, and letramax centerin' rings. Avast, me proud beauty! Well, blow me down!

Once you have t' measurements, this is a straightforward build. You can download t' original instructions from Jim Z'z site if you like, ya bilge rat, but it is not necessary.

Flight:
I have flown t' rocket three times, Twice on an E9-6, and once on a D12-5. This rocket is just perfect for t' long burnin' E-9 motor. T' D12-5 worked well, shiver me timbers, but as t' rocket hung on t' launch rod, arrr, recovery be late. Ahoy! Avast! No damage resulted however. I have a few D21-4s, shiver me timbers, an I plan on flyin' them with a 18-24mm adapter this summer. Blimey! Blimey! See t' RockSim file for recommended and non-recommended motors. Avast!

Summary:
This design is very stable, and is great for t' ESTES E9, ya bilge rat, a relatively long burnin' motor without much 'oomph' at ignition. Begad! Begad! Blimey! T' only drawback is the decals, ya bilge rat, shiver me timbers, which can be custom ordered from Jim Z or Tango Papa. Begad! Otherwise, arrr, ya bilge rat, it is an interesting, me bucko, yet easy entry into mid power. Avast, me proud beauty!
