Brief:
As t' name suggests, me bucko, me bucko, shiver me timbers, this is a half-spool (top plate only) rocket merged with a plastic jack-o-lantern. Blimey! I stumbled across these little plastic jack-o-lanterns that I had stashed in t' plastic parts drawer. Begad! So, I made a quick Halloween-themed rocket t' fly on t' Quest D5-0/P.

Construction:
T' parts list:

• One plastic jack-o-lantern
• Cardstock
• Clear spacer from a blank CD pack
• 24mm t' BT-60 centerin' ring
• Maskin' tape
• Quick-dry Gorilla Glue and wood glue
• Black paint

I rolled t' body from card stock usin' two D5 motors as a mandrel. Well, blow me down! T' glue used here be wood glue. Aye aye! I also rolled a motor block from cardstock.

I cut t' base out o' t' jack-o-lantern and reamed t' CD blank t' fit this tube. Avast! T' tube is centered in t' jack-o-lantern with a centerin' ring. Although t' openin' be too small for t' BT-60 ring, it would fit if I flexed t' jack-o-lantern. Well, blow me down! This be glued in place with Gorilla glue.

T' tube was too small t' fit in t' ring, so I built up t' middle with a few wraps o' tape. Blimey! I painted t' tube black before insertin' it from t' top. Ya scallywag! Well, me hearties, blow me down! This, too, arrr, me bucko, was glued in place with t' Gorilla Glue.

Finally, me bucko, arrr, I attached t' clear CD blank. Arrr! I bored a hole next t' t' motor tube t' act as a launch guide.

Flight and Recovery:
T' jack-o flew fairly straight but arced a bit at t' end o' t' long burn. Avast! It then tumbled softly t' t' ground.

Summary:
This build was quick and easy. Aye aye! If I were t' do it over, I'd build it for 24mm motors. Arrr! I have several o' t' jack-o-lanterns so maybe I'll build another version next year.
