Flight Log - 2015-08-29 - Rick Barnes's Der V-3 1.85x
What we've got here is a 4" upscale of the Estes Der V-3. Built with LOC heavy wall tubing, a nose cone from Apogee, and 1/4" birch ply fins. The motor mount is 29mm, with a plastic Estes retainer, and the parachute is a 45" Top Flight. This will used for a Level-1 certification flight, assuming it proves to fly well.
