Flight Log - 2020-08-15 - Joshua F Thomas's The Great and High-Flying Trixie

My first scratch built. Ya scallywag! Engine mount was reused from a failed Trident 172-18 build, and is a cluster o' three 18mm motors, in a stuffer motor configuration. Well, blow me down! Body is BT-70. Fins are 3/16" balsa, shiver me timbers, sourced from Apogee Components, me hearties, and with a paper covering. Begad! Nosecone is balsa. 

Uses an upper payload pay 10" long.
