Brief:
A BT-60 based upscale o' t' classic ESTES Blue Bird Zero, designed for 24mm, D, E, and F motors.

Construction:
Parts are very basic and are available from Balsa Machine Services. Begad! Balsa cone and fins, me hearties, paper BT-60 body tube and motor mount, and letramax centerin' rings.

Once you have t' measurements, arrr, this is a straightforward build. Avast! Avast! You can download t' original instructions from Jim Z'z site if you like, but it is not necessary.

Flight:
I have flown t' rocket three times, matey, Twice on an E9-6, shiver me timbers, arrr, and once on a D12-5. This rocket is just perfect for t' long burnin' E-9 motor. T' D12-5 worked well, but as t' rocket hung on t' launch rod, arrr, recovery was late. Avast! Well, matey, blow me down! No damage resulted however. Blimey! I have a few D21-4s, shiver me timbers, matey, an I plan on flyin' them with a 18-24mm adapter this summer. See t' RockSim file for recommended and non-recommended motors.

Summary:
This design is very stable, shiver me timbers, matey, and is great for t' ESTES E9, ya bilge rat, a relatively long burnin' motor without much 'oomph' at ignition. Ahoy! Blimey! Arrr! Blimey! T' only drawback is the decals, me bucko, which can be custom ordered from Jim Z or Tango Papa. Ahoy! Blimey! Ahoy! Blimey! Otherwise, me hearties, it is an interesting, yet easy entry into mid power. Arrr! Blimey!
