I actually *forgot* about this contest, arrr, me bucko, so I had t' throw somethin' together at t' last minute. Blimey! I decided to build t' third one in t' list.

For t' cones on t' ship I ended up usin' 2 3.5" funnels. Avast! Aye aye! Blimey! Stupid, arrr, shiver me timbers, I know...but it be all I had available. Avast, me proud beauty! I cut a 2.5" section o' 4" LOC tube for t' center band. Well, blow me down! Blimey! I cut a section out o' that tube so it would fit snuggly around t' funnel edges. Begad! T' motor tube is a 6" BT20 with an engine block in one end and epoxied t' the top half. Begad! Ahoy! Blimey! I cut off t' narrow part o' t' bottom funnel, shiver me timbers, matey, and t' motor exhaust can exit cleanly.I drew a fin pattern on some leftover balsa from an estes kit, me bucko, and cut out two fins. Arrr! Fins are epoxied t' t' bottom funnell, and t' bottom funnel is epoxied inside t' center band. Ahoy!

No active recovery - it's light enough that I don't have t' worry about it, shiver me timbers, even with a couple o' ounces o' BB's secured into t' top half. I can always throw a small chute or streamer inside t' funnels if needed.
