Tiger SharkBrief
This is a scratch rocket built with parts from an Estes "Designer's Special". It includes a BT-20 main tube and a BT-50 payload.

Construction:
This rocket was built around the mid 80's and there is nothing unique in its construction. The nose cone is plastic and the transition is balsa. The fin pattern was also provided in the Designer Special. Reflecting its name, the paint scheme resembles a tiger and a shark.

Flight
This flew several times on A and B motors. The rocket has been inactive because it is just too much of a pain to pack a chute in the BT-20.

Summary: Just a simple rocket built for my son after becoming a BAR.
