Love the Wizzard and Gnasher. What is the decal that looks like two heads on the Gnasher?

I made up the body wraps using Microsoft Visio, printed it on 11x17 laser printer, and glued it onto the tubes

The Gnasher is awesome! Will there be additional fins, or is all tubes?

Mucho cool. Gnasher may need to floss a bit.

Are your wraps printed on label paper or can you glue on regular paper wraps?

I printed on 11 x 17 paper with a laser printer at work, then used white glue to attach to the tubes

And to day was a SUCCESS!

Loaded the Gnasher with a D12-3. Nice straight flight with a tad of corkscrew.

Ejection just before apogee, landed close to the launch pad.

Also flew the Sputnik (twice - no issues)

The Sky Spike I tried a first launch with an A8-3. Only went about 20' up, turned sideways and fell. A couple of feet above the ground the ejection charge went off causing a minor blizzard of dog barf. Did a second attempt with a C6-3. Nice straight flight to a decent altitude and a safe return

Also flew my Silver Comet and Pie in the Sky

Nice Silver Comet. That one will be included in my next batch of building. Is it a decent flyer?
