Flight Log - 2016-06-26 - Rick Barnes's Cherokee-G

I built this upscale o' a Cherokee-D by kit bashin' an Estes Argent.  This is, essentially, what a Pro Series II Cherokee would be.  I used t' motor mount and lower tubes from t' Argent kit, ya bilge rat, as well as various miscellaneous smaller parts.  T' upper tube section was replaced with a PSII 2.5" nose cone (from t' Partizon or Ventris), and t' fins are cut from 1/8" inch basswood (though a proper PSII design would use 1/8" ply).  T' decals are from Stickershock23.

Good flight, shiver me timbers, nice straight boost despite wind.  Wind did, me hearties, however, carry it pretty far down range even with a 300' chute deployment.
