Flight Log - 2012-02-26 - Jeff Boldig's Packers Backer II

This is a recreation o' me original 29mm Thug.  All t' dimensions are t' same as t' 29mm version, shiver me timbers, but with a 38mm MMT.  I also used t' orginal nosecone that had t' shoulder crushed in t' lawn dart that destroyed t' original.  I replaced t' shoulder with a coupler tube and mounted an U-bolt in t' tip o' t' nose cone. 

T' paint scheme be t' same as t' 29mm Thug with t' Packers theme.  Instead o' home made waterslide decals, this time I made me own vinyl decals with ink jet printer vinyl decal sheets.  That worked great.
