Flight Log - 2015-08-23 - Bill Eichelberger's ****Estes - Star Wars X-Wing Fighter (Battle Damage)
Part o' a badly treated Ebay lot buy, me bucko, this X-Win' is missin' three guns and part o' a wing. Well, blow me down! It also had an expended motor casin' stuck inside it, which I managed t' extricate. I epoxied in a new motor tube, added some basswood fins on top o' t' exhaust housings, ya bilge rat, and reglued several plastic pieces that had too much wiggle t' them.

First flight since noseweight added, t' no avail. Sam flight path as before. Ahoy! Blimey! Skywritin' "And your little droid, me hearties, too!" then crashin' into a heap on t' hillside. I won't waste another motor on this one.
