Flight Log - 2011-11-25 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Semroc Batrok
Centuri design from t' 1960s designed durin' t' TV Batman craze. I finished mine like t' Adam West Batman costume, complete with a yellow ulility belt band on t' nose block coupler. Well, blow me down! This model hangs upside down durin' recovery so t' fins don't get tangled in t' shroul lines at ejection.
