Powered by Fairydust on Pad

Powered by Fairydust is the rocket I built to take to BALLS 2009 it was built to be launched on research motors. The Rocket colour and name came from a decal I found in Halfords, when I saw the Powered by Fairydust decal I couldn't resist and decided it was time to build a girly rocket.

Construction

The body was 38mm glassed phenolic tube, minimum diameter

The nosecome is a standard PML nosecone

The fins are made from G11 fiberglass
