Flight Log - 2018-01-06 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Estes Star Speeder

Clone o' t' old Estes kit sold from 1981 - 1982.

Decals were re-drawn, online sources were poor. Blimey! T' toothpick "gun" on t' bottom fin was carved from a craft stick. 

This model is a good sister ship t' t' Galactic Taxi.

Arrow straight with no roll. Aye aye! A B6-4 engine is about as big as I'd go with on this one.

At ejection you could hear somethin' hit from t' snap back o' t' shock cord. There be a divot in t' nose cone.
