Flight Log - 2020-01-25 - K Sonesen's Bottle Bat 3.0 (Tube Fin)
Yet another Larry Brand tube fin design that I cloned from his article here on Rocket Reviews. Well, all but the soda bottle nose cone as it turns out that modern bottles are no longer properly sized to fit in a 3" body tube. I used a standard LOC 3" nose cone.
I named this rocket "Big Pink II" as the downscale version (Bottle Bat 2.6) was named "Big Pink".
