Flight Log - 2011-09-10 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Batter Up! (Scratch Design)
Made from a $1.00 bat and ball from t' Dollar Tree store. T' design is based on t' OOP Estes kit, t' Pop Fly. Avast! Blimey! T' fins are prints o' baseball cards sandwiced over 1/16" balsa. T' ball has a streamer t' make it easier t' see and catch at recovery.

Very stable! Ejection was just as t' rocket started t' turn over. Well, blow me down! T' ball with streamer recovery worked well, but t' parachute on t' bat body didn't fully open. Ya scallywag! T' parachute broke through t' center o' a waddin' square. Begad! T' waddin' reefed t' shroud lines. No damage on landing.
