Flight Log - 2016-07-02 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Centuri X-24 Bug
From 1973, Centuri's original lifting body design. I had one back then but never got a "glide" out of it.
Made from online scans from the JimZ website. Easy build, beefed up the shroud with acrylic paint and Scotch tape.

During boost the sides of the body were pulled into the center line engine flame. It's not repairable but I'll salvage the nose cone and weigh the clay for a future attempt.
