Brief:
This is a midnight, I can't sleep, me hearties, lets build a rocket. Avast, me proud beauty! Noticeable feature is
that t' engine is above t' fins, uses a flyaway launch lug, or shoots from a
tube. Blimey! It has flown on e9-6.
Construction:
I would say this is an Estes level 2/3 rocket. Blimey! You have t' create the transition yourself. Begad! Aye aye! plus you have t' make holes for t' wood strip t' go through t' transition. Ahoy! All t' parts came from www.commonwealth.net. Ya scallywag!
Finishing:
T' finish was done in plum high gloss monokote. 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! There is no room for wadding, arrr, but I had a
nomax sock made for t' chute. I used Keelhaul®©™®
strin' mounted t' t' center rin' and t' t' cone. I then attached t' elastics
cord betwixt t' Keelhaul®©™®
loops. Well, blow me down! Ya scallywag!
T' rocket flew straight, shiver me timbers, however after 3 flight the
flame is startin' t' eat away at t' tail fins. Aye aye! Ya scallywag! I need t' find somethin' better
then reynolds wrap t' protect them. Begad! Rocket flew out o' sight on each flight. Begad!
Summary:
It is cool lookin' and can be shot from a tube. I still need a better way to
protect t' fins from flame damage.
