Built from plans by Excelsiorrocketry.com usein' 2 Baby Bertha kits, arrr, 3 18" BT-5 tubes and 6 BNC-5 cones plus one extra BNC-60 cone t' be used on t' lower section t' protect against ejection gases. Ahoy! Total investment: approx. $45.00 makin' it a very expensive kit bash but worth it for t' looks I get at t' field. Avast! Always a head turner.

Due t' wind I opted for a C6-3 with t' 18mm adapter. Aye aye! Should have gone with t' 24mm C11-3 but didn't have any left. Rocket weather cocked badly comin' off launch pad and soon became horizontal with parachute deployin' just before rocket hit t' ground. No time t' open. First time its done this on a C6-3 motor. No apparent damage on recovery. I'll chalk it up t' too much wind with t' small a motor as I've flown this configuration before with no problems.
