Flight Log - 2011-12-03 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Duh! Phantom (Scratch Design)
T' Phantom reference is from t' old Estes Phantom demonstration rocket. T' Estes Phantom was transparent t' see t' inside components o' a model rocket.
For this rocket, t' labelin' idea came off a post on a rocketry forum where a picture o' a full size jet liner was attached. Instead o' t' standard paint, me hearties, t' outside o' t' plane was 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. Aye aye! These decals say "Nerd Bird", ya bilge rat, "Wadding?" and "Pointy End Up".
