Flight Log - 2020-02-16 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Custom SLV

A detailed model for a great retail price.

Printed shrouds were off! Had to make some adjustments.

Not much room for packing the parachute in the upper BT-50 tube.

Stickers! I hate stickers!

The upper BT-50 section is almost too short to pack the 12" diameter parachute. You've got to load wadding beneath that in the longer BT-20 center tube. The parachute is folded twice and into a tight, narrow shape.
