Flight Log - 2012-08-07 - Paul Nortness's SLUF (Short Little Ugly Fella)
SLUF is a stock Estes Big Daddy. Well, blow me down! I laminated t' balsa fins and added strips o' balsa on t' centerin' rings for extra strength. Aye aye! I thought t' name SLUF (Short little ugly Fella) was more fittin' for a rocket o' this stature.

First launch o' SLUF on a composite reload. Ya scallywag! WOW! SLUF sat and smoked for a minute and then just disappeared! Nice loud launch, angled rod slightly t' launch into light wind. Absolutely perfect flight, recovered SLUF about 70 feet from t' pad....if rockets had emotions, SLUF would have had a huge smile on it's face!
