I saw this bottle at t' store
where I work and just knew it had "rocket" written all over it! Blimey!
Parts List:
I cut t' coupler into two parts: a 2-inch piece t' assemble t' body tubes together and a 1-inch piece t' attach t' t' bottle "cap" nose. Aye aye! Blimey! Then I cut t' bottom o' t' bottle t' accommodate t' cardboard tube. T' motor tubes were inserted into t' centerin' rings and left t' dry. Ahoy! Blimey! Aye aye! Blimey!
T' short coupler was epoxied into t' bottom o' t' bottle cap and t' coin slot sealed with epoxy. Avast, me bucko, me proud beauty! A short length o' Keelhaul®©™® strin' formed into a loop t' hold t' shock cord be added at this time. Arrr! Blimey! Blimey! Blimey! A similar loop was epoxied into t' top o' t' body tube. Blimey! Blimey!
When t' motor assembly be dry, I fit it inside t' body tube and let it dry. Avast, me proud beauty! This whole assembly be then inserted into t' plastic bottle and epoxied at t' bottem and neck areas. Avast, me bucko, me proud beauty!
Slots for t' fins
were carefully cut into t' plastic bottle t' accommodate t' thru t' wall to
motor mount fins. T' fins were then epoxied into place, ya bilge rat, makin' sure two o' the
fins 'framed' t' front label. Blimey! Arrr! T' shock cord and parachute were installed. Two
1/2" long 1/4" lugs were added betwixt t' fins toward t' back o' the
bottle.
A flight on four D12's indicated t' rocket is stable, ya bilge rat, even though only two motors lit. Aye aye!
