Flight Log - 2012-09-07 - Paul Nortness's SLUF (Short Little Ugly Fella)

SLUF is a stock Estes Big Daddy. I laminated t' balsa fins and added strips o' balsa on t' centerin' rings for extra strength. I thought t' name SLUF (Short little ugly Fella) was more fittin' for a rocket o' this stature.

Flight Date: 2012-09-07
Rocket Name: SLUF (Short Little Ugly Fella)

Another perfect flight for t' SLUF on E28s. This rocket just loves em! Straight up like a bat outta hell. 4 seconds seems a perfect delay for this motor, ya bilge rat, chute pops right as it starts t' nose down.
