Flight Log - 2023-11-04 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Custom SLV
A detailed model for a great retail price.
Printed shrouds were off! Had to make some adjustments.
Not much room for packing the parachute in the upper BT-50 tube.
Stickers! I hate stickers!

No engine hook on this model. Instead of a friction fit engine, I did a simple tape wrap over the engine mount tube and the extended casing.
That's a BT-50 at the top but with the adapter and nose cone shoulders there is only 1 1/2" for a packed parachute, shock cord and shroud lines. After spiking the chute, I fold the chute only once. Shroud lines are wrapped, but the chute is pushed beyond the short BT-50, down into the BT-20 tube.
| Actual Altitude: | 425 Feet |
