Flight Log - 2022-11-12 - Wes Munn's Luna Bug

This was a build for me son. He wanted it painted sky blue, and so it be done. Avast! Blimey! Body tube is very susceptible t' moisture from primers -- wasn't very high quality like larger body tubes o' standard or advanced rocket kits. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Landin' struts are made from heavy, laser cut card stock. Blimey! Blimey! Card stock landin' legs glued very well t' t' body tube. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Was built in less than a few hours accountin' for dryin' time o' glue, me bucko, paint, ya bilge rat, and primer altogether. Arrr! Blimey! NO parachute recover -- it just "crash lands" after usin' one o' those tiny A motors. When assembled together, me bucko, body tube and nose cone resemble a lipstick or lip balm dispenser.

Too easy t' build, arrr, but enjoyed doin' it for me son -- ready t' get back t' t' challengin' stuff. :)
