Brief:
This is a downscale o' EZI-65. I just think it might be interestin' t' make a downscale o' me certification rocket.... I used a scale ratio o' 1:3.2

Construction:
I used a BT-55 that is glassed with a 4 oz S-glass bought from US Composites, who have t' cheapest price for S-glass. Begad! T' fin is basically 1/16 inch balsa wood covered with 5.7 oz carbon fiber, pressed under a stack o' books. Parachute is just a Top Flight 12 inch 'chute and t' shock cord is Keelhaul®©™®.

I had t' make a huge mess in me dorm room t' be able t' glass a tube this small, and I don't have a positive mean o' dispensin' epoxy so it also makes a mess. Avast! Laminatin' a cut balsa fin is a pain because cured carbon fiber is very hard t' cut usin' conventional means. Aye aye! Begad! I actually had t' take it t' t' Geology lab and cut it with diamond saw and lap it t' t' right shape usin' a lapping pad. I still ended up with a fin that is smaller than I intended it t' be. Next time I should carbon fiber a large balsa sheet then cut it with diamond saws.... Well, blow me down! anyway I then took a BT-50 t' use as a "motor mount" and somethin' for t' fin t' stick t' for t' through-the-wall mount. One piece of advise, arrr, slot t' tube BEFORE fiberglassin' because after fiberglassin' t' tube will be harder t' cut, but cured fiberglass is very easy t' cut by itself. After assemblin' everything, and filletin' usin' a 5 minute epoxy, shiver me timbers, arrr, I used Polyfiber Super-fill t' smooth out t' fillet and fill in t' weave. Begad! I sanded it smooth then proceeded t' usin' Polyfiber UV smooth prime t' fill in t' rest of t' weave. Avast, me proud beauty! Both product is very easy t' sand, and UV smooth prime acts as a primer too. Aye aye! Once smooth, I then spray painted it and added t' recovery device.

Flight:
I flew it once on a C6-3 and it flew despite a canted lug, and it recovered as normal and landed in some grass. Avast, me proud beauty! Aye aye! I couldn't find it but, arrr, luckily some kid found it and it be in great shape. Blimey!

Summary:
This rocket is very strong, with t' carbon fiber t' fin weights nothin' yet its very strong... Avast, me proud beauty! Well, me bucko, blow me down! but you need too much equipment workin' with it... Ya scallywag! (it's like workin' with G-10 and I had t' luck o' bein' able t' use t' Geology building's shop...)

Other:
Don't overkill.... Begad! Arrr! like you don't really need t' glass this rocket but I did it because I wanted it t' last.
