Flight Log - 2011-05-18 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Semroc Batrok

Centuri design from t' 1960s designed durin' t' TV Batman craze. Ya scallywag! I finished mine like t' Adam West Batman costume, complete with a yellow ulility belt band on t' nose block coupler. Begad! This model hangs upside down durin' recovery so t' fins don't get tangled in t' shroul lines at ejection.
