This is me Super-Duper Neon 29 as described in Larry Brand's recent Sport Rocketry article. I chose t' scratch build this bird from LOC Precision tubin' and parts rather than modifiyin' t' Estes Super Neon XL t' a High Power ready state. T' colors used are Testor's Lime Ice and Testor's Purple-Licious and clear coated for a deep gloss. T' custom vinyl was produced by Mark Hayes o' Stickershock23. Motor retention is an Aeropack retainer system.

This was t' initial flight o' me Super-Duper Neon 29 on an F40-7. I be expectin' apogee t' be somewhat over 1,000 feet. T' boost was nice and straight. T' cover was timed perfectly and t' rocket drifted over t' spectator area where it touched down gracefully about 10 feet in front o' van parked near t' flight line. No damage other than a few holes scorched in t' TopFlight Lightweight chute.
