+# 2YikStik
+
+## Motivation
+
+This is a "replacement" for Bdale's first L3 certification airframe, 
+[YikStik](../YikStik), which was mostly lost.  The name was suggested by
+Bdale's wife Karen to imply that it's in homage "to YikStik".  The project
+sat as just a simulation file for a long time, until Ed Shibadeh from 
+[Giant Leap](http://www.giantleaprocketry.com/) admitted at Airfest 16 that
+he had one last 98-75mm Slimline Tail Cone in his personal collection that
+he would be willing to let go of.  It's silly how much the little things
+matter sometimes!  The tailcone wasn't even part of the early YikStik design,
+but once it was added it somehow became an important element of the overall
+design that Bdale wasn't willing to do without on this project...
+
+## Design Details
+
+* 98mm [Giant Leap](http://giantleaprocketry.com) Dynawind air frame
+* 75mm [LOC](http://www.locprecision.com) motor mount
+* [Giant Leap](http://giantleaprocketry.com/) Pinnacle 98mm nose cone
+* custom fins, using 3/16 inch birch plywood laminated with carbon fiber 
+  and a fibreglass sanding veil
+* 3/8 inch birch plywood centering rings and bulkheads, CNC milled, the two 
+  that hold the fins are double thickness (3/4 inch) and notched for perfect 
+  fin alignment.
+
+The OpenRocket design file is 2YikStik.ork in Bdale's git repository.
+
