Well I have been attending Midwest Power since MWP3. If you have attended this launch before you know that one of the highlights is the night launch which is held on Saturday night which is usually on or around Halloween night. As such, you have some strange things flying overhead: Jack-O-Lantern's, Witches Brooms, Flying Saucers, etc. I have had, let's see, three previous rockets that were modified with appendages to fly at night just to participate, but no rocket dedicated for night flight specifically for this event so I figure it's about time...
I thought of purchasing some of the superb night flight rockets that are available now (e.g., Leading Edge Alien), but then I wanted it to be a bit more distinct. So off to eBay to find components and finally I found the "perfect" body. But to add some suspense, I'm not going to reveal what it is exactly. As this build thread progresses I'm sure you will see more of the actual rocket, but to make it a little more interesting, the first one to guess what it is will get a small prize.
To start, here is the Rocksim file (name changed to "protect the innocent"):
