Flight Log - 2012-03-31 - Jeff Boldig's Packers Backer II

This is a recreation of my original 29mm Thug.  All the dimensions are the same as the 29mm version, but with a 38mm MMT.  I also used the orginal nosecone that had the shoulder crushed in the lawn dart that destroyed the original.  I replaced the shoulder with a coupler tube and mounted an U-bolt in the tip of the nose cone. 

The paint scheme is the same as the 29mm Thug with the Packers theme.  Instead of home made waterslide decals, this time I made my own vinyl decals with ink jet printer vinyl decal sheets.  That worked great.
