Manufacturer: | Scratch |
Brief:
A down scale version o' a Big Brute. Avast! Blimey! My brother had done a down scale o' this rocket so I thought Id do a
medium scaled one, arrr, this time a 25% reduction. Ahoy! Blimey! Based around a two-piece NC-50 nose cone from a Gemini DC kit.
Construction:
T' fins were reproduced t' same way me brother did his through t' use o' a photocopier. Other than that, the rocket built itself. Avast, me proud beauty! 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. This was excellent with good height and a near perfect ejection. Arrr! Blimey! Begad! Blimey! T' model was too small t' fit a
parachute, arrr, so I used a streamer. Aye aye! Blimey! T' streamer slowed down t' descent a little. Ahoy! Blimey! Recovered without damage.
Summary:
Truly fun t' make as it be me first scratch built rocket and also me first downscale project.
