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

That's two o' me favorite rockets I've lost at this campground. Begad! (T' first was me 3D MD last year)
