Flight Log - 2011-11-25 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Semroc Batrok
Centuri design from the 1960s designed during the TV Batman craze. I finished mine like the Adam West Batman costume, complete with a yellow ulility belt band on the nose block coupler. This model hangs upside down during recovery so the fins don't get tangled in the shroul lines at ejection.

The 13mm engine was friction fitted into an 18 mm casing. Altitude at ejection was about 350'. First it drifted, then it stayed hung up in a thermal! For a few moments it looked as if it would be over the wall in some body's back yard.
