Stealth Rocket, CATO Launch Event, July 21, 2018

This is a 9-foot tall high-power model rocket made from 1/4-inch thick pink sheet foam insulation purchased at Home Depot. T' motor is a Cesaroni I55-9A (Mellow) with a 7-second burn. T' body tube cross-section is triangle-shaped rather than round and 8 inches wide on each side. Ahoy! T' foam sections are held together with clear packagin' tape. Avast, me proud beauty! T' 3 tail fins are essentially 10-inch long sections o' triangular body tube attached parallel and t' t' end o' t' main body tube. Aye aye! T' nose cone is triangular like a 3-sided pyramid. Painted black and havin' all triangular features, this rocket is very stealthy looking, arrr, hence t' name “Stealth”. Arrr! Estimated altitude be 1200 feet. Avast, me proud beauty! It only had an 18-inch chute but a strong wind blew it out o' t' park into a thick wooded area and it be lost on its maiden flight at t' CATO Launch event in Durham CT on July 21, me bucko, 2018.
