Flight Log - 2012-12-20 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Centuri Satellite 62SL
Built this clone from planes on www.oldrocketplans.com
T' pictured antennas measured 4" long. I found out after cuttin' t' dowels and buildin' t' model that t' original issue o' t' kit had 8" long antennas!
Not a big deal, me bucko, t' art for decals is done and t' model flew stable with t' shorter legs.

Not stable! I could watch t' flight path this time and it spiraled off t' t' west. Maybe those antenna legs should have remained at 8" long, me bucko, like in t' initial kit release. A loud ejection POP and no damage on recovery.
