Brief:
This is a free paper rocket that spins on its way up and down, creating unique smoke trails.

Construction:
All that is needed is to print the pattern on to 90# cardstock and then cut and glue. You will need a pair of scissors, an X-Acto knife, a ballpoint pen, a 13mm motor casing (preferably a spent one), and white glue. There are only two fins, one body tube and the motor mount.

This is very easy to build, but you must remember when using white glue and paper combinations, less is more! I wiped a small amount of white glue onto the shaded areas and then wiped off all that I can before I stick the pieces together so I do not get wrinkles and have almost instant drying.

I have found it easier to cut the motor mount holes with the X-Acto knife after all the lines are bent, but before the body is glued.

The body is cut and then I trace on the lines with a ballpoint pen pressing hard to make the folds easier. Fold all the long body tube lines so you can form a diamond shape body tube and glue the shaded tab under the opposite body panel.

There are 4 fin pieces. Glue the shaded ones to the non shaded ones to reinforce the fins. Also you may shape the fins for aesthetics.

To make the motor mount, cut out the motor mount and wrap tightly around your 13mm engine casing and glue the tab to the motor mount body. I have found it to be easier to roll the motor mount tube before applying glue so it holds its shape better.

For the fastest build, follow this order: motor mount, fins, body tube, motor mount in tube, and then fins on tube. It can be done in 20 minutes and flying after 30 minutes (because you need to let the glue dry). CA would speed everything up even more.

Finishing:
No finishing required for this paper rocket!

Flight:
I flew it on A10-PT and A10-3T motors. All flights were 30-40 feet in altitude with some neat swirling action. They all went basically straight up and landed within 15 feet of the pad. I friction fit all motors and had no problems. I would not however recommend A10-3T motors as the ejection charge eventually burned the top of the motor tube badly.

Recovery:
Recovery is spinning aerobrake and it functioned flawlessly each time.

Summary:
I think this rocket is great fun. It can be built in about 20 minutes, has a unique look, and great flights.
