Flight Log - 2012-07-01 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's MPC Nike Patriot
A build from t' old boxed line o' MPC model rockets. Arrr! Very sturdy, a combination o' plastic and cardstock tubes, no balsa. Ahoy! T' parachute tape strips had t' be replaced with new ones. T' rest o' t' model was built stock. T' model has a very thick, plastic launch lug. T' same fin unit was used in t' MPC and later Quest Nike Smoke kit.
