Brief:
This is a midnight, me hearties, ya bilge rat, I can't sleep, me bucko, lets build a rocket. Noticeable feature is that t' engine is above t' fins, uses a flyaway launch lug, shiver me timbers, or shoots from a tube. Blimey! Aye aye! It has flown on e9-6.

Construction:

• 1- Nose cone is from a Super Big Bertha. Ya scallywag! Blimey!
• 1- small plastic baby juice bottle.
• 1- 6 inch BT80 Tube. Avast, me proud beauty!
• 1- 12" 1/4 x 1/8 birch stip. Ya scallywag! Ahoy!
• 3- 2.6 t' .96 center rings
• 1- custom center rin' t' .96
• 1- Estes E engine hook
• 1- Photo paper t' create transition.
• 1- .75 x 4 inch 3/32 balsa for fins
• 1-.96 motor engine block
• Keelhaul®©™® String, ya bilge rat, 4' o' shockcords, reynolds wrap, ya bilge rat, 12" nylon chute.

I would say this is an Estes level 2/3 rocket. Arrr! Ya scallywag! You have t' create the transition yourself. Blimey! plus you have t' make holes for t' wood strip t' go through t' transition. Aye aye! All t' parts came from www.commonwealth.net.

Finishing:
T' finish was done in plum high gloss monokote. Ya scallywag! You will need a monokote iron to put it on. Begad! Begad! This was me first monokote job. Ahoy! Avast, me proud beauty! It seems t' work nicely.

Flight:
I used a pack o' E9-6 Estes motors. Ya scallywag! There is no room for wadding, but I had a nomax sock made for t' chute. Begad! I used Keelhaul®©™® strin' mounted t' t' center rin' and t' t' cone. Blimey! I then attached t' elastics cord betwixt t' Keelhaul®©™® loops.

T' rocket flew straight, however after 3 flight the flame is startin' t' eat away at t' tail fins. Well, blow me down! I need t' find somethin' better then reynolds wrap t' protect them. Well, me hearties, blow me down! Rocket flew out o' sight on each flight. Ahoy!

Summary:
It is cool lookin' and can be shot from a tube. Ya scallywag! I still need a better way to protect t' fins from flame damage.
