Flight Log - 2011-10-30 - Joseph Olexa's Vector Force

This is a four fin balsa nose cone rocket with two balsa transition sections.  It has through the wall fins.  Although it's a sport rocket, it looks like a military missile, but is not made to be any particular one.  It uses B6-4 and C6-5 size engines.  The suggested color scheme is orange and black.  The decals are water slide type and not pressure sensitive.  It has a skill level of 1.
