Flight Log - 2010-11-13 - K Sonesen's Flatblack (Tube Fin)

This is a copy o' Larry Brand's "Flat Black" which can be found here on EMRR.  I built mine as per t' instructions right down t' t' flat black paint scheme.  In t' interest o' better visibility however, I have added two 1" wide rings o' prismatic tape around t' airframe. Avast, me proud beauty! T' Flat Black is a rocket that really shows what can be done with low impulse/long burnin' Estes E9 motors.
