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

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

Once you have t' measurements, shiver me timbers, me hearties, me hearties, this is a straightforward build. Well, blow me down! You can download t' original instructions from Jim Z'z site if you like, matey, arrr, but it is not necessary.

Flight:
I have flown t' rocket three times, shiver me timbers, shiver me timbers, Twice on an E9-6, 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, matey, recovery was late. Ahoy! No damage resulted however. I have a few D21-4s, an I plan on flyin' them with a 18-24mm adapter this summer. Well, blow me down! See t' RockSim file for recommended and non-recommended motors. Blimey! Avast, ya bilge rat, me proud beauty!

Summary:
This design is very stable, me bucko, arrr, and is great for t' ESTES E9, arrr, a relatively long burnin' motor without much 'oomph' at ignition. Arrr! T' only drawback is the decals, which can be custom ordered from Jim Z or Tango Papa. Well, blow me down! Aye aye! Otherwise, me bucko, matey, it is an interesting, yet easy entry into mid power. Ya scallywag! Ahoy!
