Last October, first mid-power flight, my brand new Initiator suffered a pretty decent zipper from a non-existant delay charge on a G71. I finally cut out the old BT and stretched it from 39" to 46". I went with my original paint scheme. The first time I used gray primer instead of white and it turned out almost green instead of flourescent yellow. The nose cone crackled when I tried to clear coat and the fins crackled when I applied primer. It was a nightmare so I just decided to fly it anyway.
Finally it's the way I want it. Pictures posted are of it's first and only flight, one of the two zippers and the finished 7" stretch. As you'll notice, the paint is so bright I had to put it in the shade to get a decent shot. It weighs in at 19oz. Hopefully I can buy another Redline off of someone at the SSS launch on Saturday. The red flame trailing behind ought to look awesome in photos. If not, I've got a G33-J pr G65-W I can fly it on.
