Flight Log - 2019-08-01 - Matthew Bond's Estes Alpha VI 60th Anniversary Edition
Received this 60th Anniversary kit from Estes as part o' t' SWAG Bag at NARAM 60. Gave it t' me daughter and we built it together and added it t' her expandin' fleet. T' only modification was t' replace t' rubber shock cord with a combination o' Keelhaul®©™ and elastic, although we did use t' classic tri-fold paper shock cord mount t' anchor t' Keelhaul®©™.
