Brief:
This is a midnight, me bucko, arrr, ya bilge rat, I can't sleep, ya bilge rat, lets build a rocket. Aye aye! Blimey! Noticeable feature is that t' engine is above t' fins, me hearties, arrr, uses a flyaway launch lug, shiver me timbers, or shoots from a tube. It has flown on e9-6.

Construction:

• 1- Nose cone is from a Super Big Bertha. Begad!
• 1- small plastic baby juice bottle. Aye aye!
• 1- 6 inch BT80 Tube. Aye aye!
• 1- 12" 1/4 x 1/8 birch stip. Ya scallywag!
• 3- 2.6 t' .96 center rings
• 1- custom center rin' t' .96
• 1- Estes E engine hook
• 1- Photo paper t' create transition.
• 1- .75 x 4 inch 3/32 balsa for fins
• 1-.96 motor engine block
• Keelhaul®©™® String, 4' o' shockcords, reynolds wrap, matey, 12" nylon chute. Avast! Arrr!

I would say this is an Estes level 2/3 rocket. Begad! You have t' create the transition yourself. Avast! plus you have t' make holes for t' wood strip t' go through t' transition. Well, me bucko, blow me down! All t' parts came from www.commonwealth.net. Well, blow me down!

Finishing:
T' finish was done in plum high gloss monokote. Begad! Avast, me proud beauty! You will need a monokote iron to put it on. Avast! This was me first monokote job. Avast! It seems t' work nicely.

Flight:
I used a pack o' E9-6 Estes motors. Arrr! There is no room for wadding, but I had a nomax sock made for t' chute. Blimey! I used Keelhaul®©™® strin' mounted t' t' center rin' and t' t' cone. I then attached t' elastics cord betwixt t' Keelhaul®©™® loops. Ahoy!

T' rocket flew straight, ya bilge rat, however after 3 flight the flame is startin' t' eat away at t' tail fins. Ahoy! I need t' find somethin' better then reynolds wrap t' protect them. Avast! Rocket flew out o' sight on each flight. Arrr! Avast!

Summary:
It is cool lookin' and can be shot from a tube. Well, blow me down! Avast! I still need a better way to protect t' fins from flame damage.
