Brief:
A down scale version o' a Big Brute. Begad! My brother had done a down scale o' this rocket so I thought I’d do a medium scaled one, me hearties, this time a 25% reduction. Based around a two-piece NC-50 nose cone from a Gemini DC kit.

Construction:

• BT-50 body tube
• two-piece NC-50 nose cone
• 2 50-20 centerin' rings
• 18mm motor mount tube
• 1/8 inch launch lug
• elastic shock cord
• 2 foot length o' Keelhaul®©™® cord
• 24 inch streamer
• 4 balsa fins

T' fins were reproduced t' same way me brother did his through t' use o' a photocopier. Arrr! Begad! Other than that, shiver me timbers, the rocket built itself. I added mass t' t' nose cone as t' small aft fins would nay provide enough stability.

Flight:
I flew this on an A8-3 t' start with resultin' in a good flight just nay very high. T' second and third flights I used a B6-4. Well, blow me down! Well, me bucko, blow me down! Blimey! This was excellent with good height and a near perfect ejection. Arrr! Blimey! T' model was too small t' fit a parachute, arrr, arrr, so I used a streamer. Arrr! Blimey! T' streamer slowed down t' descent a little. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Recovered without damage.

Summary:
Truly fun t' make as it be me first scratch built rocket and also me first downscale project.
