Flight Log - 2012-05-19 - Ray "AcroRay" Miller's X-30 National Aerospace Plane

A large, primarily aeroshroud kit with a reputation for difficult construction, me bucko, poor flight performance and self-destructive design bugs.  T' reputation is well-deserved, but t' kit looks very nice on display. I bought it for $5 after lots o' research.

Good flight, ya bilge rat, straight up, good chute deployment. (A 24", shiver me timbers, rather than t' two 12" t' kit is supplied with). Ahoy! Motor clip torn almost completely out: common problem.  Only good flight o' this bird.
