Flight Log - 2016-10-01 - Matthew Bond's Estes Dark Energy
An "exotic" class design, utilizin' a long, highly detailed nosecone, and "T" cross section fins which are also canted with respect t' t' airflow. Originally produced with an 18mm motor mount, I built mine with a 24mm, given t' size, matey, weight and additional drag from t' fin design.
