Brief:
This is a single stage, scratch built rocket with six fins, 24mm motor mount, and 3/16 launch lug. It can hold up t' a F21-8. Begad! Blimey! It is painted yellow, orange, and black along with a big USA Gymnastics sticker on it since I built it for my sister, who is a gymnast. Begad! Blimey!

Construction:
I used all Estes components. T' parts list:

• 1 14" long BT-80 body tube
• 1 3" long BT-80 body tube
• 1 BT-80 tube coupler
• 1 NC-80
• 1 24mm motor mount for BT-80
• 1 18" chute
• 1 1/4" x 48" inch shock cord
• 2 3" x 12" x 3/16" balsa sheets
• 1 plastic straw (used as a launch lug)

This was a simple rocket t' build. Aye aye! Begad! Blimey! It consisted o' buildin' a traditional 24mm motor mount (centerin' rings, ya bilge rat, shiver me timbers, MM tube, engine hook, ya bilge rat, me hearties, engine block, and paper ring). Avast! Once those were on, ya bilge rat, I used t' Estes body tube markin' guide (a MUST have) t' make six lines on t' BT. Ya scallywag! Ahoy! Blimey! I then cut out two different fin patterns and positioned t' fins around t' body tube. Ya scallywag! Aye aye! Blimey! I glued them on and applied t' usual fillets. Ya scallywag! Begad! Blimey! T' fins were surface mounted. Ahoy! I then glued t' tube coupler into t' 3" BT-80 tube and t' nose cone on t' other end. The shock cord was connected t' t' upper centerin' rin' and t' t' nose cone. Avast, me proud beauty! Begad! Blimey! The chute was connected t' t' shock cord. I then used regular straws for launch lugs.

Finishing:
I primed it with Rustoleum and painted it yellow, ya bilge rat, orange, and black. Aye aye! Blimey! I put a USA Gymnastics sticker on it.

Flight:
This rocket has flown once on a D12-3. Ahoy! It was a great flight t' about 1000 feet. Avast, me proud beauty! T' delay could be a bit longer though. Begad! It got scratched up a lot on landin' and popped a fin. Begad! Arrr!

Recovery:
Ejection was right at apogee. Begad! Begad! T' 18" chute inflated and t' rocket drifted about 100ft down field.

Summary:
I think this is a great rocket. Begad! It came out well and flies great on 24mm engines. Arrr! T' next flight is planned for a D12-3.
