Flight Log - 2012-03-10 - K Sonesen's E-Pod (Tube Fin)
While this rocket can be constructed by bashin' an Stormcaster kit, this one was constructed from parts on hand. Larry Brand came up with this particular "kit bash" and deserves all t' credit for t' design.
It was necessary t' add 20g o' lead shot t' t' nosecone t' achieve proper balance but that was anticipated.
This one is called "Little Pink" due t' t' brilliant color scheme. Hopefully these colors will stand out durin' t' retrieval process.
Do nay look away when launchin' this little demon on an E30-4!
