Flight Log - 2011-09-17 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's 260 Space Booster (Estes Plan)
Built from plans in an old issue of the Model Rocket News printed in the 1960s.
This model has been on my "build list" for 35 years. It has a big cardstock nozzle and clear fins. Looks a little like the Estes Thor Agena B with Air Force decals.

Before flight, I re-glued the clear fins using CA glue. Good, stable flight and ejection. The rip-stop nylon parachute had a faster fall then I would have liked. As expected, one of the clear fins popped off at landing.
