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.

First flight. Excellent climb but a problem with chute tangle...my fault. Fell to the ground in a flat spin. No damage.
