Flight Log - 2015-12-05 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Estes Flutter-By

Had t' Centuri kit in t' 1970s. Avast! Blimey! This one had a longer nose cone and "ribs" runnin' down t' fins for strength. I left those off and papered t' fins instead, like t' Centuri instructions showed.

It did flutter down at ejection but in more than two pieces.

I guess I didn't glue t' nose cone in. (Doh!) There was no damage but a little embarrassment and kiddin' after all t' parts were collected.
