Flight Log - 2016-04-24 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Estes Flutter-By

Had the Centuri kit in the 1970s. This one had a longer nose cone and "ribs" running down the fins for strength. I left those off and papered the fins instead, like the Centuri instructions showed.

At ejection both sections blew far apart. the tail section fell flat, almost looking like it was gliding. The upper half nosed in and fell slowly.
