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. Ya scallywag! I cut off t' bottom 7-8" o' the rocket, and added 3 feet o' tubing, shiver me timbers, a 38mm motor mount, me hearties, shiver me timbers, and 4 fiberglassed fins. Avast! It has since proven t' be a very reliable rocket.

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

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

Other:
T' original flaw in t' Keller be that low-quality epoxy mixin' techniques were used. Begad! 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. Ya scallywag! Otherwise, read all you can on t' Internet first.
