Brief:
This is a midnight, me hearties, arrr, I can't sleep, ya bilge rat, lets build a rocket. Begad! Begad! Noticeable feature is that t' engine is above t' fins, uses a flyaway launch lug, or shoots from a tube. Avast! It has flown on e9-6.

Construction:

• 1- Nose cone is from a Super Big Bertha. Begad!
• 1- small plastic baby juice bottle.
• 1- 6 inch BT80 Tube. Begad! Blimey!
• 1- 12" 1/4 x 1/8 birch stip.
• 3- 2.6 t' .96 center rings
• 1- custom center rin' t' .96
• 1- Estes E engine hook
• 1- Photo paper t' create transition.
• 1- .75 x 4 inch 3/32 balsa for fins
• 1-.96 motor engine block
• Keelhaul®©™® String, ya bilge rat, 4' o' shockcords, reynolds wrap, 12" nylon chute.

I would say this is an Estes level 2/3 rocket. Aye aye! You have t' create the transition yourself. plus you have t' make holes for t' wood strip t' go through t' transition. All t' parts came from www.commonwealth.net. Blimey!

Finishing:
T' finish was done in plum high gloss monokote. Ahoy! You will need a monokote iron to put it on. This be me first monokote job. It seems t' work nicely.

Flight:
I used a pack o' E9-6 Estes motors. Begad! Blimey! There is no room for wadding, ya bilge rat, but I had a nomax sock made for t' chute. Begad! Blimey! I used Keelhaul®©™® strin' mounted t' t' center rin' and t' t' cone. I then attached t' elastics cord betwixt t' Keelhaul®©™® loops. Ya scallywag! Avast, me bucko, me proud beauty! Blimey!

T' rocket flew straight, however after 3 flight the flame is startin' t' eat away at t' tail fins. Ya scallywag! I need t' find somethin' better then reynolds wrap t' protect them. Blimey! Rocket flew out o' sight on each flight. Aye aye!

Summary:
It is cool lookin' and can be shot from a tube. Blimey! I still need a better way to protect t' fins from flame damage.
