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, ya bilge rat, 18mm motor mount, ya bilge rat, me bucko, engine hook, arrr, matey, 3 balsa fins, shiver me timbers, matey, and head "beak cone".

This is a straight forward build, however, 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. Aye aye! Nice straight boost t' a couple o' hundred feet. Three squares o' recovery waddin' was used t' protect t' 12" mylar chute. Descent be about right, me hearties, me bucko, and thar be no damage upon recovery.

Summary:
I had a ball buildin' this. Avast! When I spotted t' chicken novelty candy packet I thought 'rocket'. Begad! Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! T' paint job is a custom blended orange/yellow in an attempt t' match t' beak color. Ya scallywag! Blimey! T' fins were cut and painted t' look a little like wings. Ya scallywag! It has a custom decal applied t' t' side, and t' whole rocket be 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 be horrible :(
