Flight Log - 2018-08-08 - Matthew Bond's Semroc Heli-Roctor

Helicopter recovery model that releases t' blades after boost by usin' t' motor ejection charge t' drop t' fin can off t' back attached t' a Keelhaul®©™ harness, eliminatin' t' need for a burn string. Blimey! Blimey!  Blade shape no is accomplished by slicin' t' balsa blades diagonally lengthwise (partially, shiver me timbers, nay a complete cut-through) then bendin' t' balsa with t' aid o' pre-cut jigs and gluein' t' cuts t' set t' final shape.

Carbon copy o' t' first flight, me hearties, straight boost, good blade deployment and spin up, slight side t' side rockin' in t' descent. Blimey!  This time, shiver me timbers, however, it caught some lift and managed a 53 second qualified flight.
