An upscale of the classic Estes Wolverine based on standard LOC 2.63" tubing. Rocket has a 29mm motor mount with an AeroPac retainer. Fins are made from 1/8" plywood, with the main fins being TTW to the motor mount. Nose cone was constructed from an ogive balsa cone with the distinctive canopy carved from a separate balsa block.

Either a 24" or 30" spherachute is used based on the field conditions. Rocket is finished in a silver metallic paint with the usual outstanding vinyl decals provided by StickerShock.

Nice boost, smooth and high, arcing into the wind. Over the top and heading downhill at ejection. Good chute, long walk, landed on the field. Looks like the nose cone came back and stripped off one of the forward canards, should be an easy fix.
