Flight Log - 2012-04-21 - K Sonesen's Super-Duper Neon 29

This is my Super-Duper Neon 29 as described in Larry Brand's recent Sport Rocketry article.  I chose to scratch build this bird from LOC Precision tubing and parts rather than modifiying the Estes Super Neon XL to a High Power ready state.  The colors used are Testor's Lime Ice and Testor's Purple-Licious and clear coated for a deep gloss.  The custom vinyl was produced by Mark Hayes of Stickershock23.  Motor retention is an Aeropack retainer system.
