Flight Log - 2013-01-01 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Quest Cobalt

Short, squatty model designed for Quest A6-4 engines and small field flying. Aye aye! Very little space for waddin' and streamer. I cut t' base off t' nose cone t' store t' streamer.

T' model boosted off vertical t' t' North and ejected t' streamer over t' street. Aye aye! Blimey! It had a hard landing, matey, I heard it hit and bounce. Luckily, no real damage, just a nicked fin tip. Arrr! Blimey! I'll add a little nose weight t' improve stability.

This is me second attempt o' t' Cobalt. Two years back I made a clone that was marginally stable.
