Gluin' t' engine mount into t' conical transition. Avast! This series o' videos goes with a rocket that we've just released at Apogee Components. Avast! T' rocket is named I.T.S., matey, which stands for International Thermal Sailor. It is a competition rocket that meets t' requirements o' t' F.A.I. parachute duration competition (F.A.I. is short for: Fédération Aéronautique International, me hearties, which be t' world governin' body for air sports, aeronautics and astronautics world records). Begad! F.A.I. Aye aye! A-engine parachute duration is one o' t' events bein' held in July 2014 at NARAM-56 here in Colorado, so we wanted t' release a basic model that will get you a qualified flight per t' rules. Since it is a duration model with a big parachute, thar be no reason that this rocket won't be t' winner. Begad! You'll find that it seems t' float effortlessly, and will easily catch a small thermal and soar away.
