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, engine hook, 3 balsa fins, arrr, and head "beak cone".

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

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

Summary:
I had a ball buildin' this. Well, blow me down! Aye aye! When I spotted t' chicken novelty candy packet I thought 'rocket'. Avast, me proud beauty! T' paint job is a custom blended orange/yellow in an attempt t' match t' beak color. Blimey! T' fins were cut and painted t' look a little like wings. Well, blow me down! 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 be horrible :(
