A flying can of spray paint! Or at least that's the intent - this is still a work-in-progress. It turns out that BT-80 tubing is almost exactly the same diameter as a can of spray paint, and the cap that Rustoleum uses fits well onto a BT-80 tube coupler. What's more is that the 2X-line use a vinyl wrap around the can, which is easily peeled off and reattached to the tubing. The rest is sort of self-explanatory. The first flight was a bit squirrely, but the second was better after revision to CG location. This may have to be restricted to calm winds.

Well, that didn't work as planned - did a squirrely-Q about 25 feet up, crashed and deployed on the ground. Needs some revision.
