Flight Log - 2011-10-17 - 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. Begad! I thought t' name SLUF (Short little ugly Fella) was more fittin' for a rocket o' this stature.
