Flight Log - 2015-05-16 - 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 little lass painted as fin can art.  Excelsior makes a decal for this.  This rocket is built, arrr, 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.
