Brief:
This is a single stage, matey, matey, scratch built rocket with six fins, ya bilge rat, 24mm motor mount, and 3/16 launch lug. Aye aye! Ya scallywag! It can hold up t' a F21-8. Avast! Aye aye! It is painted yellow, arrr, orange, and black along with a big USA Gymnastics sticker on it since I built it for my sister, matey, me hearties, ya bilge rat, who is a gymnast. Begad! Ya scallywag!

Construction:
I used all Estes components. Begad! Blimey! T' parts list:

• 1 14" long BT-80 body tube
• 1 3" long BT-80 body tube
• 1 BT-80 tube coupler
• 1 NC-80
• 1 24mm motor mount for BT-80
• 1 18" chute
• 1 1/4" x 48" inch shock cord
• 2 3" x 12" x 3/16" balsa sheets
• 1 plastic straw (used as a launch lug)

This be a simple rocket t' build. Avast, me proud beauty! Begad! It consisted o' buildin' a traditional 24mm motor mount (centerin' rings, MM tube, me bucko, engine hook, engine block, ya bilge rat, and paper ring). Once those were on, matey, I used t' Estes body tube markin' guide (a MUST have) t' make six lines on t' BT. Avast, me proud beauty! I then cut out two different fin patterns and positioned t' fins around t' body tube. Begad! Arrr! I glued them on and applied t' usual fillets. T' fins were surface mounted. Ya scallywag! I then glued t' tube coupler into t' 3" BT-80 tube and t' nose cone on t' other end. The shock cord was connected t' t' upper centerin' rin' and t' t' nose cone. The chute was connected t' t' shock cord. Avast, me proud beauty! I then used regular straws for launch lugs.

Finishing:
I primed it with Rustoleum and painted it yellow, orange, ya bilge rat, me bucko, matey, and black. Blimey! I put a USA Gymnastics sticker on it.

Flight:
This rocket has flown once on a D12-3. Aye aye! It be a great flight t' about 1000 feet. T' delay could be a bit longer though. Blimey! Aye aye! It got scratched up a lot on landin' and popped a fin. Well, blow me down!

Recovery:
Ejection was right at apogee. Begad! T' 18" chute inflated and t' rocket drifted about 100ft down field.

Summary:
I think this is a great rocket. Begad! Blimey! It came out well and flies great on 24mm engines. T' next flight is planned for a D12-3.
