Flight Log - 2017-07-22 - 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. Ya scallywag! 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. Aye aye! Maybe I should have redshifted t' motor mount t' 24 mm but I went with t' stock 18 mm.

Then t' Sea Sting. Avast! I discovered one fin was pretty much hangin' on by one edge when I went t' prep, me hearties, but CA came t' t' rescue. I flew this on a single use Aerotech D21-4. A squirrelly flight, shiver me timbers, again, but it went up and it came down and was in better shape after landin' than when I started, matey, so that’s a win.
