Flight Log - 2010-11-13 - K Sonesen's Flatblack (Tube Fin)

This is a copy of Larry Brand's "Flat Black" which can be found here on EMRR.  I built mine as per the instructions right down to the flat black paint scheme.  In the interest of better visibility however, I have added two 1" wide rings of prismatic tape around the airframe. The Flat Black is a rocket that really shows what can be done with low impulse/long burning Estes E9 motors.

Another excellent launch followed by a chute tangle. This time the chute acted like a drogue to slow the descent. No damage.
