Flight Log - 2017-08-27 - Rick Barnes's Der Green Max MkII

I built this t' replace me first Der Green Max, shiver me timbers, lost in late 2015 on only its second launch.  This one is similar in configuration t' t' original, though I used normal motor tubes and cut up centerin' rin' t' build t' cluster mount rather then t' mount kit from t' original.  This version is less expensive and slightly lighter.  This time, arrr, instead o' modifyin' t' kit fins for TTW tabs, I simply cut new tabbed fins from balsa stock.  It was simpler t' do that than splicin' tabs into t' fins and tryin' t' smooth it all out.  Also, I used a fluorescent green and black X-type parachute from Top Flight in place o' t' dark green one originally used, and t' paint color is now "Grabber Green" rather than "Apple Green".  Decals are, again, from Stickershock23.
