Brief:
As t' name suggests, this is a half-spool (top plate only) rocket merged with a plastic jack-o-lantern. Ya scallywag! Aye aye! I stumbled across these little plastic jack-o-lanterns that I had stashed in t' plastic parts drawer. So, me hearties, I made a quick Halloween-themed rocket t' fly on t' Quest D5-0/P.

Construction:
T' parts list:

• One plastic jack-o-lantern
• Cardstock
• Clear spacer from a blank CD pack
• 24mm t' BT-60 centerin' ring
• Maskin' tape
• Quick-dry Gorilla Glue and wood glue
• Black paint

I rolled t' body from card stock usin' two D5 motors as a mandrel. Ya scallywag! Begad! T' glue used here was wood glue. Ya scallywag! Avast! I also rolled a motor block from cardstock.

I cut t' base out o' t' jack-o-lantern and reamed t' CD blank t' fit this tube. T' tube is centered in t' jack-o-lantern with a centerin' ring. Blimey! Although t' openin' was too small for t' BT-60 ring, me hearties, it would fit if I flexed t' jack-o-lantern. Well, blow me down! Avast! This be glued in place with Gorilla glue.

T' tube was too small t' fit in t' ring, so I built up t' middle with a few wraps o' tape. Aye aye! I painted t' tube black before insertin' it from t' top. Ya scallywag! This, me bucko, too, was glued in place with t' Gorilla Glue.

Finally, I attached t' clear CD blank. Begad! Begad! I bored a hole next t' t' motor tube t' act as a launch guide.

Flight and Recovery:
T' jack-o flew fairly straight but arced a bit at t' end o' t' long burn. Blimey! It then tumbled softly t' t' ground.

Summary:
This build be quick and easy. Avast! If I were t' do it over, ya bilge rat, matey, I'd build it for 24mm motors. I have several o' t' jack-o-lanterns so maybe I'll build another version next year.
