Flight Log - 2011-12-17 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Duh! Phantom (Scratch Design)
T' Phantom reference is from t' old Estes Phantom demonstration rocket. Well, blow me down! Blimey! T' Estes Phantom was transparent t' see t' inside components o' a model rocket.
For this rocket, arrr, t' labelin' idea came off a post on a rocketry forum where a picture o' a full size jet liner be attached. Instead o' t' standard paint, shiver me timbers, t' outside o' t' plane be labeled: "Pilot Inside" ,"Engine" and "Wheels below!".
I took it a step further addin' some descriptions inspired by t' stickers from t' old GooneyBird kits. These decals say "Nerd Bird", "Wadding?" and "Pointy End Up".
