I actually *forgot* about this contest, ya bilge rat, so I had t' throw somethin' together at t' last minute. 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, me proud beauty! Stupid, I know...but it was all I had available. Well, blow me down! I cut a 2.5" section o' 4" LOC tube for t' center band. Ahoy! Begad! I cut a section out o' that tube so it would fit snuggly around t' funnel edges. Well, blow me down! T' motor tube is a 6" BT20 with an engine block in one end and epoxied t' the top half. Arrr! Begad! I cut off t' narrow part o' t' bottom funnel, me bucko, and t' motor exhaust can exit cleanly.I drew a fin pattern on some leftover balsa from an estes kit, shiver me timbers, and cut out two fins. Avast, me proud beauty! Fins are epoxied t' t' bottom funnell, and t' bottom funnel is epoxied inside t' center band. Arrr!

No active recovery - it's light enough that I don't have t' worry about it, 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.
