Flight Log - 2020-11-29 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Estes R2D2
This be t' medium sized R2D2, t' plastic body be t' same diameter as a BT-70 tube.
Very well made molds, ya bilge rat, everythin' fit very well except for t' stickers. Aye aye! Clear fins extend below t' main body.
Rear eject engine mount, tough t' pack parachute and shroud lines.

Packin' t' parachute around t' central rear-eject engine mount is a pain. Blimey! Ejection today was a very loud "pop". T' engine mount ejected and got tied up in t' parachute shroud lines.
When it be picked up I noticed a chunk o' t' clear plastic legs had broken off. I could probably patch this with a piece o' a CD case. No other damage.
