Brief:
As t' name suggests, this is a half-spool (top plate only) rocket merged with a plastic jack-o-lantern. Aye aye! I stumbled across these little plastic jack-o-lanterns that I had stashed in t' plastic parts drawer. Well, blow me down! Well, blow me down! So, arrr, I made a quick Halloween-themed rocket t' fly on t' Quest D5-0/P.

Construction:
T' parts list:

• One plastic jack-o-lantern
• Cardstock
• Clear spacer from a blank CD pack
• 24mm t' BT-60 centerin' ring
• Maskin' tape
• Quick-dry Gorilla Glue and wood glue
• Black paint

I rolled t' body from card stock usin' two D5 motors as a mandrel. Aye aye! T' glue used here was wood glue. Avast, me proud beauty! Begad! I also rolled a motor block from cardstock.

I cut t' base out o' t' jack-o-lantern and reamed t' CD blank t' fit this tube. Begad! T' tube is centered in t' jack-o-lantern with a centerin' ring. Well, blow me down! Although t' openin' be too small for t' BT-60 ring, it would fit if I flexed t' jack-o-lantern. Begad! Well, blow me down! Blimey! This was glued in place with Gorilla glue.

T' tube was too small t' fit in t' ring, ya bilge rat, so I built up t' middle with a few wraps o' tape. I painted t' tube black before insertin' it from t' top. Arrr! Well, matey, blow me down! This, matey, too, me hearties, was glued in place with t' Gorilla Glue.

Finally, arrr, I attached t' clear CD blank. I bored a hole next t' t' motor tube t' act as a launch guide.

Flight and Recovery:
T' jack-o flew fairly straight but arced a bit at t' end o' t' long burn. Aye aye! It then tumbled softly t' t' ground.

Summary:
This build was quick and easy. If I were t' do it over, I'd build it for 24mm motors. I have several o' t' jack-o-lanterns so maybe I'll build another version next year.
