H999 for the booster and H242T for the sustainer. I was going to use an H73 for the sustainer but decided I wanted to give the sustainer motor the best possible chance of lighting so I went with the blue thunder. I also aging about 500' in altitude for the same price

Sustainer decals on the fins



My favorite in the sustainer is the one of hobbes thinking where he is half white and half orange.

Finishing up the clear coat now. The metallics look much better with the clear.

Can you take a closer picture of the can of paint? I want to see what brand it is... Can't see it on this tiny $%^&* computer screen.

Its Dupi-Color.

Dupli color perfect match automotive. Look for it on amazon. It's expensive at 9$ for an 9oz can but it looks amazing.

The white was just regular dupli color gloss white.

Okay so I need some help here. I am going to need to use 2 parachutes for the booster because I don't have the right size. if I were to use 2 24" chutes how exactly would I set them up on the shock cord? Also how do you pack them?

Try and borrow the correct size chute. You should be able to find one. Also, see if you can find another keychain camera for the booster...

ok I will on both accounts but if I cant get the correct size how should I "rig" the parachutes?

Your orange looks familiar...

That's a cool car!!! I take it that it's yours. What is it??

2006 Dodge Charger R/T Daytona. #1888/4000 in "Go ManGo" paint.

That's one cool car. Hoping to paint my own car when I'm older
