Flight Log - 2012-09-07 - Paul Nortness's SLUF (Short Little Ugly Fella)

SLUF is a stock Estes Big Daddy. I laminated the balsa fins and added strips of balsa on the centering rings for extra strength. I thought the name SLUF (Short little ugly Fella) was more fitting for a rocket of this stature.

Flight Date: 2012-09-07
Rocket Name: SLUF (Short Little Ugly Fella)

Another perfect flight for the SLUF on E28s. This rocket just loves em! Straight up like a bat outta hell. 4 seconds seems a perfect delay for this motor, chute pops right as it starts to nose down.
