Futuristic design from AVI Astroport. Blimey! I made t' followin' modifications t' me clone. T' phaser tube are 4.5" plastic addin' machine rolls. BT is 1.25"x36" gift-wrap tube that I salvaged from goin' in trash. Blimey! Nose and coupler from scrap balsa wood white glued into a block then cut and sanded t' shape. I cut a 4" section from BT t' glue betwixt nose cone and coupler. I also changed t' MM from 18mm t' 24mm. Aye aye! T' last change was t' go with a single 20" parachute instead o' t' twin 14" 'chutes. Blimey! Other wise followed plans. Ya scallywag! http://www.oldrocketplans.com/avi/aviAX-1/aviAX-1.htm

Maiden flight. Ahoy! Good launch with rocket wind cockin' just a bit and a slight roll on t' way up. Aye aye! Parachute ejected just past apogee and rocket landed about 150' from pad. Rocket had a slight zipper effect and a small din' in nose cone. Will repair and fly again.
