Flight Log - 2017-12-02 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's AVI Nike Tomahawk
Build from an old AVI catalog page. I don't know if this kit was ever produced.
Sport scale at best, it used t' old MPC Nike Smoke and Tomahawk plastic fin cans. Begad! I ordered parts from Quest and built up t' center adapter from cardstock.
A real hard one t' mask.

I am always concerned about ejection, it's a tall model and t' parachute is all t' way at t' top. Avast, me proud beauty! That 12" parachute is tight in t' 20 sized tube in t' Tomahawk.
T' Estes B6-4 boosted it t' about 325', t' chute did eject and open without any problem.
