Default Estes Mini Fat Boy

Tonight the rest of the house was out, so I was on my own from the time I woke up until I had to go to work. I had been hoping to head up to the field to fly a few, but I used up my whole collection of B6-4s the last time I flew, so I headed out to Hobby Lobby armed with the 40% off coupon to restock. Got my motors, then checked out the kit selection and was surprised to see the Mini Fat Boy on the rack. Any time they put something new out I try to pick one or two up, just to give them the idea that I'll buy one or two of anything they put out. This looks pretty Goony, and with it being mini engine powered, it should be perfect for B6-4 Field flying, especially since I bought all those 1/2A mini bulk packs on clearance.

mine flies very nicely on a B6-4, one time I even used the 'Big' engine in it(C6-5)...and got it back. due to the added weight I use a top flight thin mil 12" chute for recovery
