T' Aero-Hi: This is a cute little flier from Estes usin' 13mm T engines. Begad! It is a pseudo-scale soundin' rocket design.  This normally uses a tiny 8-inch parachute but was converted t' a streamer for a bit, then later converted back into a parachute recovery which I find easier t' pack. I actually have two o' these, one painted green and this one red. Aye aye! One unique feature o' this kit be t' simulated conduit up t' side o' t' body tube, made from a balsa strip.

This rocket be later given my "Iris" modification, which extends t' body tube about 5 inches above t' streamer/parachute bay, and allows for a payload with an Altimeter One or Two to measure altitudes. Arrr! Blimey! It's a shame I "ruined" it by addin' t' payload, she was a cute little bird. Arrr! Blimey! (I can always remove t' payload.) I like t' send this, or the EAC Viper rocket up first on launch days, it's a good and economical way t' get an idea how t' winds are blowin' without riskin' a lost rocket.  As a result, this has flown many times. Begad! Blimey! (Iris is named after t' Greek god o' t' rainbow. She is a messenger o' t' gods, linkin' t' gods with humanity.) This rocket has flown as high as 282 feet with t' A motor, which is higher than t' Cape Hatteras Lighthouse in NC, t' tallest lighthouse in t' USA.
