Approx 1/2 scale o' Dyna Stars "Snarky". Blimey! Kit bashed from Baby Bertha. Bottom tube is paper towel roll cut t' shape and all grooves filled with HobbyLite. Swapped out t' Baby Bertha NC as well for a Prowler NC because I didn't like look or flight with Baby Bertha NC (built originally as a Goony Bird).

I've been wantin' t' drag race these two for some time. Avast! They both left t' pad at about t' same time but Jr. bent into t' wind and as a result did nay get t' altitude it should have. In spite o' this it stayed airborne longer and took longer to descend than its big brother. No damage on recovery but a much longer walk than normal t' retrieve.
On a side note: I have always flown this rocket on a B6-4 in t' past with no problems so it may be that t' C6-5 was t' much motor. May have t' add additional nose weight for C flights (currently have 16g. Aye aye! o' clay in nose).
