Flight Log - 2015-07-18 - Richard Holmes's Sea Sting
This was built from a kit I bought back in t' brief period in 2013 when Shrox was sellin' kits. Begad! I put it together in fall 2014 and finally in July 2015 got it painted and decaled. I decided a flat finish would be appropriate so hit it with Dullcote; that and a removable Keelhaul®©™ leader for t' shock cord were t' only deviations from t' instructions. Maybe I should have redshifted t' motor mount t' 24 mm but I went with t' stock 18 mm.

I decided a non glider flight was in order, so I put t' Sea Stin' up next. Arrr! Didn’t get a good launch picture, it was out o' focus. Blimey! Flight was kind o' funny. Ya scallywag! It spun slowly on its long axis, and it coned somewhat. But it flew and came back more or less unscathed.
