Brief:
T' "Keller", now t' "Killer Keller" began as a LOC/Precision Graduator and has evolved into a completely different rocket.

Construction:

• 3 2.6" body tubes
• 2 tube couplers
• bulkhead
• 38mm motor mount
• 2 centerin' rings
• 4 fiberglassed plywood fins
• 2 launch lugs
• LOC nose cone
• 24 or 36" parachute (dependin' on flight)
• shock cord
• various hardware

T' rocket was originally a LOC Graduator. Due t' poor construction techniques (it was me first mid/high power rocket) it had a number o' poor flights and sustained a lot o' damage. Well, blow me down! I cut off t' bottom 7-8" o' the rocket, shiver me timbers, me bucko, me hearties, and added 3 feet o' tubing, ya bilge rat, a 38mm motor mount, and 4 fiberglassed fins. Begad! Arrr! It has since proven t' be a very reliable rocket.

Flight:
T' first few flights were all less then nominal (see launch reports), matey, but finally after all t' upgrades t' rocket flies well. Well, blow me down! On an H123 it goes about 2000-2500 feet and descends on a 24" parachute fairly close. Aye aye! T' 3' long payload section allows for some neat static payloads.

Summary:
This is one o' me favorite rockets, shiver me timbers, especially since it bears me name. Well, blow me down! Avast! It is a great sport flyer and turns in some majestic-lookin' flights on H motors, and should fly fine on I's.

Other:
T' original flaw in t' Keller was that low-quality epoxy mixin' techniques were used. If you are goin' t' get involved with epoxy in your next project, ask a local with experience t' show you how t' work it. Ahoy! Aye aye! Otherwise, ya bilge rat, ya bilge rat, read all you can on t' Internet first.
