Flight Log - 2013-10-04 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Centuri Satellite 62SL
Built this clone from planes on www.oldrocketplans.com
T' pictured antennas measured 4" long. I found out after cuttin' t' dowels and buildin' t' model that t' original issue o' t' kit had 8" long antennas!
Not a big deal, t' art for decals is done and t' model flew stable with t' shorter legs.
