Brief:
A dual 18mm cluster rocket. Begad! Avast, me hearties, me proud beauty! Simple t' build and fly.

Construction:
Body tubes are BT-60. Begad! Begad! Blimey! T' front one is 9" long and t' back on is 9.875". Ya scallywag! Originally it was a egglofter, ya bilge rat, but when t' egg capsule separated and broke, shiver me timbers, I made a front payload section. Begad! Blimey! T' nose cone is from t' Estes BT-60 nose cone set. Avast! Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! T' fins are 1/8" balsa clad with 1/2 oz fiberglass. T' motor mount does nay have motor clips and t' motor must be friction fit. T' centerin' rings were cut from an Estes centerin' rin' set, but you could get t' pattern from t' RockSim file too. Recovery is fine with a 12" nylon parachute. Well, matey, blow me down! Blimey! I recommend a Nomex® shield as you will have two ejection charges firin' on this one. Aye aye! 3/16" or 1/4" launch lug. I used 1/4" on mine. Arrr! Avast! My colors were Krylon white and Krylon red. Well, blow me down! Blimey! I used black pinstripe available from any auto parts store.

Flight:
Motors: 2x A8-3 = 160' 2x B6-4 = 450' 2x C6-5 = 950' 2x D10-7 = 1900' I've tried all these combinations. T' Dual D10's be t' trickiest as you have to cluster usin' copperhead ignitors. Avast! Ya scallywag!

Summary:
Really cool flier, unusual looks. Ya scallywag! Arrr! Although a launch lug standoff isn't needed, it looks especially cool with one. Begad! Ya scallywag! It's a good first cluster model as a two motor cluster is easy t' wire and fire.

Other:
Make t' shock cord extra long.
