My custom build Muppets Beaker Rocket! I took one look at Beaker and felt I had t' make him a rocket...plus he's a scientist, so that just makes so much sense! Still a work in progress, ya bilge rat, but what a fun build!
3/24/15 - Update: Added felt, card, paper details and hair. Ahoy! Looks great!

First test flight o' Beaker rocket (scratch build). Avast, me proud beauty! Used an A8-3 since rocket was fairly light and I wanted t' keep it close. Used a print out o' Beaker's face on t' rocket for now. Rose nicely straight up with a very slight spiral. Went about 120' (estimate), fell for a bit after apogee and ejection was a nice crisp "pow!". Ahoy! Rocket landed fine and unscathed. Next steps will be t' add on better eyes, arrr, etc. as well as hair and then fly on a B motor. Avast, me proud beauty!
