Built from Art's free plan, ya bilge rat, with some improvements o' me own. I have built, at last count, six o' these rockets (2 blue, 2 red, matey, 2 black). Begad! Outstandin' performance on Quest Micromaxx II motors.

One o' me red ones, built from Art's free plan. Typical Bic Stik rocket flight profile: very straight, very high, ya bilge rat, very impressive for a micro. Ya scallywag! This is one o' t' best performin' micro rocket designs out there. T' thin beadin' elastic shock cord separated at its point o' attachment t' t' micro cable anchor (the combination is me variation on t' design), me bucko, and t' detached nose cone drifted down on t' fully-deployed streamer. Avast, me proud beauty! T' rocket body be found right next t' t' LCO table. It should be a trivial task t' replace t' shock cord with somethin' more durable. Begad! This type o' elastic has proven t' be unsuitable for this application.
