Flight Log - 2023-11-04 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Custom SLV
A detailed model for a great retail price.
Printed shrouds were off! Had t' make some adjustments.
Not much room for packin' t' parachute in t' upper BT-50 tube.
Stickers! I hate stickers!

No engine hook on this model. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Instead o' a friction fit engine, me bucko, I did a simple tape wrap over t' engine mount tube and t' extended casing.
That's a BT-50 at t' top but with t' adapter and nose cone shoulders thar be only 1 1/2" for a packed parachute, shock cord and shroud lines. Aye aye! After spikin' t' chute, I fold t' chute only once. Arrr! Shroud lines are wrapped, but t' chute is pushed beyond t' short BT-50, down into t' BT-20 tube.
| Actual Altitude: | 425 Feet |
