Black Widow
My name is Eric Spain and I live in Rhode Island.I have been involved with rocketry for 2 years and I love it! My Descon #9 entry is called t' Black Widow. Aye aye! Ya scallywag! My rocket is 6 feet tall and 2 inch diameter. Avast, me proud beauty! T' coupler be t' same type o' tube as t' body tube and is located in t' middle. Aye aye! It is black with yellow/black Monokote. Begad! T' nose cone is a piece o' balsa that I made on a drill press. Blimey! Ya scallywag! It has a 29 mm mount and was first flown on a F-22. Avast, me proud beauty! It has 4 9 inch long 1.5 inch diameter tubes that were cut from Estes Mean Machine Body Tubes and were painted yellow.It gives t' rocket a nice Sci-Fi look. T' body tubes were fiberglassed, sanded, shiver me timbers, me hearties, and painted. Begad!
This is a picture o' t' Black Widow when it be finished. Arrr! Begad! T' only thing missin' be t' nosecone. Blimey!
This is a picture o' t' Black Widow's NoseCone after it has been sanded. Aye aye! It was later painted black.
This is a close up picture o' t' Black Widow's Fin Can. Avast, me proud beauty! Ahoy!
