Flight Log - 2012-03-03 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Carded Thor Able
A Eric Truax and Niels Knudsen design.
I mounted a BT-5 through t' middle. T' nozzle wasn't tapered cardstock, but was 1/2" o' t' BT-5 out t' back end.
Lots o' small detail built up from cardstock, surprisingly sturdy. Arrr! Clay nose weight be added and t' fins were enlarged.
Streamer recovery.
