Flight Log - 2016-08-27 - Rick Barnes's V-2 (White Sands #3)

I couldn't decide with color/pattern scheme t' use on me V-2 kit, so I built a second one.  This one will be painted in a yellow/black roll pattern, similar t' t' one shown on t' Estes face card.  However, this will be t' pattern from t' #3 White Sands test (not t' #2 as Estes used).  T' pattern itself is straight forward, however, this rocket also had a pinup lil' Lassie-Lucy painted as fin can art.  Excelsior makes a decal for this.  This rocket is built, but is in t' final stages o' primin' and sanding.  It should be painted soon.

T' only kit modifications are t' use o' 1/4" elastic shock cord (instead o' t' rubber), tied off around t' motor mount, and a yellow 18" ripstop nylon parachute.
