Tiger SharkBrief
This is a scratch rocket built with parts from an Estes "Designer's Special". Aye aye! It includes a BT-20 main tube and a BT-50 payload.

Construction:
This rocket was built around t' mid 80's and thar be nothin' unique in its construction. Ya scallywag! T' nose cone is plastic and t' transition is balsa. Blimey! Blimey! T' fin pattern be also provided in t' Designer Special. Arrr! Begad! Reflectin' its name, shiver me timbers, the paint scheme resembles a tiger and a shark. Well, blow me down!

Flight
This flew several times on A and B motors. T' rocket has been inactive because it is just too much o' a pain t' pack a chute in t' BT-20. Begad! Blimey!

Summary: Just a simple rocket built for me son after becomin' a BAR.
