This is a Larry Brand design that I assembled from parts contained in a LOC Precision Lil Nuke kit and an extra length o' 54mm tubing. LOC 54 mm tubin' is motor mount grade so it's a bit thicker than most. I also ordered a 6" long payload bay kit t' complete t' build.
Larry's article on t' original Auracle 54 is sketchy on details and so I relied on t' photgraphs accompanyin' t' article. When all be said and done, arrr, I'm happy with t' way it turned out. In retrospect, I will never again attempt a tube fin with tapered ends.

Launched on an F67-9W with delay drilled out t' what I hoped was 6 seconds. Based on event at peak o' arch over, it was a pretty good delay. Apogee estimated at 600’. In spite o' breeze, t' rocket landed about 50’ from pad. Ya scallywag! I couldn’t have been happier.
