Flight Log - 2016-01-09 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's New Way A-20 Demon

A square tube design, one I've wanted to build for a while.

The square tube required a lot more filling and smoothing to get ready for color coats.

Lots of design innovation on this one, a fun build.

Arrow straight boost, it went into the low fog so the ejection wasn't seen.

I spotted it quickly in the fog, the 20" parachute was probably a little big, try a Odd'l 15" next time.

No damage and no chute melts.
