Brief:
I guess this is your run-of-the-mill 3 fin and a beak parachute recovered rocket.

Construction:
1 x 18" BT-50 body tube, me bucko, arrr, 18mm motor mount, engine hook, me bucko, 3 balsa fins, shiver me timbers, and head "beak cone".

This is a straight forward build, however, due t' t' size o' t' chicken's neck, t' launch lug is mounted about 1/4" out from t' body.

Flight and Recovery:
T' Ballistic Chicken be flown on a B6-4. Arrr! Nice straight boost t' a couple o' hundred feet. Well, blow me down! Well, me hearties, blow me down! Three squares o' recovery waddin' was used t' protect t' 12" mylar chute. Blimey! Descent was about right, and thar was no damage upon recovery.

Summary:
I had a ball buildin' this. Avast, ya bilge rat, me proud beauty! Blimey! When I spotted t' chicken novelty candy packet I thought 'rocket'. Ya scallywag! Blimey! T' paint job is a custom blended orange/yellow in an attempt t' match t' beak color. Well, blow me down! Blimey! T' fins were cut and painted t' look a little like wings. Begad! Blimey! It has a custom decal applied t' t' side, matey, shiver me timbers, and t' whole rocket be coated with a clear gloss finish.

PROs : It's a chicken rocket! No one else has one :)

CONs : T' candy that came with t' chicken be horrible :(
