Flight Log - 2015-09-27 - Rick Barnes's Spray Bomb

A flyin' can o' spray paint!  Or at least that's t' intent - this is still a work-in-progress.  It turns out that BT-80 tubin' is almost exactly t' same diameter as a can o' spray paint, and t' cap that Rustoleum uses fits well onto a BT-80 tube coupler.  What's more is that t' 2X-line use a vinyl wrap around t' can, which is easily peeled off and reattached t' t' tubing.  T' rest is sort o' self-explanatory.  T' first flight was a bit squirrely, but t' second was better after revision t' CG location.  This may have t' be restricted t' calm winds.

Better 2nd flight, arrr, after shiftin' t' CG forward. Ya scallywag! 4 second delay is too long, and wind was too gusty. Still deployed on t' ground, but at least got some altitude first
