Brief:
Single stage, mid power rocket that uses two body tube diameters. Aye aye! Recovery via parachute

Construction:
Two body tubes (BT-60 and BT-55) 8 fins and 4 body strakes

All part numbers are from Semroc unless otherwise noted:

• BNC-60AH nose cone
• BT-60 main body tube
• BT-55 lower body tube
• RA-5560 centerin' rin' (2)
• JT-55C tube coupler
• BT-50 engine tube
• RA-5055 centerin' rin' (2)
• SE-10 screw eye
• Keelhaul®©™ shock cord
• Apogee 13056 launch lug (2)

Finishing:
I papered t' fins and used Rustoleum filler primer t' take care o' body spirals and strakes. Aye aye! Ahoy! Blimey! T' lower body tube connects t' t' upper tube via two centerin' rings and a tube coupler. Aye aye! Blimey! This coupler be used t' give more strength. Arrr! Blimey! Coat o' Rust-O-Leum sandable primer, thorough sanding, re-coat o' primer and then shot t' first coat o' light gray. Avast! Blimey! Two more coats o' gray. Aye aye! Arrr! Blimey! Photos I have seen o' this rocket have no markings so I decided t' paint t' body light gray and t' nose red.

Flight:
My first flight was D12-5. Avast! Blimey! I would nay recommend D12-3. Ahoy! Blimey! You need t' longer delay. Ahoy! Blimey! It also performs well with D15-7 and E15-7.

Recovery:
I used 150lb. Blimey! Blimey! Keelhaul®©™ tied t' motor mount. Avast, me proud beauty! I always use about three times t' rocket's length and secure it t' t' motor mount. Aye aye! I also like t' wrap some tape around t' cord where it meets t' end o' t' body tube t' prevent zippering.
