T' Alpha: What can I say? Ask anybody, shiver me timbers, they probably have one or two.  This was built from t' original 1974 kit, bundled with t' starter kit / launcher for about $14 and some change.  I ordered it when I was 13 yrs. Begad! directly from Estes mail order, sending bills and change in an envelope without tellin' me parents because I was too afraid they would say I couldn't get it.  It's always easier t' get forgiveness than permission!  It was a rugged, good flyer. Begad! It has since been moth-balled, t' shock cord is rotted. Well, blow me down! I restored it t' flyin' contidion one day when I was bored. Avast, me proud beauty! It received a new Keelhaul®©™ shock cord mount and a better plastic parachute with longer shroud lines.  I also added a small payload section t' t' top, me hearties, makin' this rocket 2-1/4" taller and 5 grams (0.176 oz) heavier.  I flew it with an A8 on a windy day, ya bilge rat, and I was suprised how straight it flew, shiver me timbers, reachin' 210 feet apogee and goin' up t' 71 mph (104 ft/sec.).  Can't wait t' try this on a B or C this weekend!
