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. Ya scallywag! T' toothpick "gun" on t' bottom fin be carved from a craft stick.
This model is a good sister Man-O-War t' t' Galactic Taxi.

Arrow straight with no roll. 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. Avast, me proud beauty! There was a divot in t' nose cone.
