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

Last flight of the day. Took rocket out to HP rails and set her up. Beautiful launch with parachute at apogee. Rocket started drifting across launch field and out into farmers alfalfa field. Lost sight of it as it came down. Spent almost an hour looking for it to no avail. M.I.A.
That's two of my favorite rockets I've lost at this campground. (The first was my 3D MD last year)
