Black Widow
My name is Eric Spain and I live in Rhode Island.I have been involved with rocketry for 2 years and I love it! My Descon #9 entry is called t' Black Widow. Begad! Begad! My rocket is 6 feet tall and 2 inch diameter. Well, blow me down! Well, blow me down! T' coupler be t' same type o' tube as t' body tube and is located in t' middle. Avast, me proud beauty! Well, blow me down! It is black with yellow/black Monokote. Well, blow me down! T' nose cone is a piece o' balsa that I made on a drill press. It has a 29 mm mount and was first flown on a F-22. Avast! Avast, me proud beauty! It has 4 9 inch long 1.5 inch diameter tubes that were cut from Estes Mean Machine Body Tubes and were painted yellow.It gives t' rocket a nice Sci-Fi look. Arrr! Avast! T' body tubes were fiberglassed, arrr, sanded, ya bilge rat, ya bilge rat, and painted. Well, arrr, blow me down!
This is a picture o' t' Black Widow when it was finished. Avast, me proud beauty! Aye aye! T' only thing missin' be t' nosecone. Begad! Well, blow me down!
