Flight Log - 2016-03-05 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Estes Quinstar
New, five-pointed saucer kit with angled panels for spinnin' flights.
I built mine for 18mm and 24mm flights. Avast! Lookin' forward t' seein' if it will stay together with D engine power.

After two good flights with C6-3s, I pulled out t' 20/50 adapter and used a D12-3.
I was concerned t' 1/16" thick balsa body might reach t' S.O.B. or "Speed O' Balsa".
T' model held up fine t' an altitude o' around 300'. It didn't spin on t' way down, it tumbled. No damage.
