Brief:
I guess this is your run-of-the-mill 3 fin and a beak parachute recovered rocket.

Construction:
1 x 18" BT-50 body tube, 18mm motor mount, me bucko, engine hook, me bucko, 3 balsa fins, and head "beak cone".

This is a straight forward build, me hearties, however, me bucko, due t' t' size o' t' chicken's neck, t' launch lug is mounted about 1/4" out from t' body.

Flight and Recovery:
T' Ballistic Chicken be flown on a B6-4. Begad! Nice straight boost t' a couple o' hundred feet. Three squares o' recovery waddin' was used t' protect t' 12" mylar chute. Descent was about right, and thar was no damage upon recovery.

Summary:
I had a ball buildin' this. Aye aye! When I spotted t' chicken novelty candy packet I thought 'rocket'. Aye aye! Arrr! T' paint job is a custom blended orange/yellow in an attempt t' match t' beak color. Well, blow me down! T' fins were cut and painted t' look a little like wings. Avast, me proud beauty! It has a custom decal applied t' t' side, and t' whole rocket was coated with a clear gloss finish.

PROs : It's a chicken rocket! No one else has one :)

CONs : T' candy that came with t' chicken was horrible :(
