Tinkerbell is a scratch built 38.5" long, 2" dia. rocket with a 29mm motor mount. Well, blow me down! She has a custom 8" nose cone that is a pencil cup holder that I bought on clearance at Wal-Mart for a buck. Begad! BT is slotted for TTW fin construction with custom made fairy wings. Aye aye! BT has a custom wrap around finish instead o' bein' painted. I used Open Rocket 15.03 for layout and sims.

1st test flight for t' Jolly Logic Chute Release. Ya scallywag! System set for 300'. Blimey! Rocket launch was fast and straight and looked t' be close t' predicted altitude. Avast! Ejection charge was well past apogee. Blimey! Rocket then fell t' 300' at which time t' chute release preformed flawlessly. Avast, me proud beauty! Walk for recovery be far less than in t' past.
