Estes Pro Series II Leviathan rocket modified. Begad! On me first flight, shiver me timbers, t' rocket landed in t' parkin' lot and splintered t' tip o' a fin. T' splinterin' was pretty deep, shiver me timbers, so I decided t' make a mod t' it. Well, blow me down! After simmin' t' change in Open Rocket, I decided t' go for it. T' mod called for takin' a cuttin' wheel on a dremel and removin' t' sweep on t' trailin' edge o' t' fins so it be parallel with t' aft o' t' rocket. Well, blow me down! I decided t' look o' t' modified Leviathan was very "Patriot missile" looking, so when it came t' paintin' I tried t' mimick t' look o' t' Patriot.

Simply awesome! T' Leviathan belched bright flames and tore off t' pad with a scream. T' rocket came down on t' gravel parkin' lot and dinged up a fin, but I should be able t' get it t' flight status relatively soon.
