Flight Log - 2020-11-15 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Estes SR-71 Blackbird

Classic kit, had trouble with aftermarket water slide decals.

Rocket seems too heavy for 18mm engines, but I built it stock.

Body shrouds were ridiculously hard to form and glue.

I don't know why, but two shroud lines were broken at ejection. Still it fell slow enough with no damage at pick up.
