Brief:
As t' name suggests, arrr, me bucko, ya bilge rat, this is a half-spool (top plate only) rocket merged with a plastic jack-o-lantern. Ya scallywag! I stumbled across these little plastic jack-o-lanterns that I had stashed in t' plastic parts drawer. So, 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. Avast, me proud beauty! Avast, me proud beauty! T' glue used here was wood glue. Blimey! 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. Begad! Blimey! Blimey! T' tube is centered in t' jack-o-lantern with a centerin' ring. Arrr! Although t' openin' was too small for t' BT-60 ring, it would fit if I flexed t' jack-o-lantern. Begad! Well, blow me down! Blimey! This was glued in place with Gorilla glue.

T' tube be too small t' fit in t' ring, so I built up t' middle with a few wraps o' tape. Well, blow me down! Avast, me proud beauty! I painted t' tube black before insertin' it from t' top. Avast, me proud beauty! This, too, me bucko, was glued in place with t' Gorilla Glue.

Finally, me hearties, me hearties, I attached t' clear CD blank. 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. Ya scallywag! It then tumbled softly t' t' ground.

Summary:
This build was quick and easy. Arrr! Blimey! If I were t' do it over, I'd build it for 24mm motors. Aye aye! I have several o' t' jack-o-lanterns so maybe I'll build another version next year.
