Scratch - Astron Drifter {Scratch}

Construction Rating: 
Flight Rating:
Overall Rating:
Contributed by Bill Eichelberger
Brief
I would have eventually built an Astron Drifter just because I like the history and tradition of the K-kits, but a late night Ebay "Buy It Now" spree netted me an Estes lot that included a lot of vintage nose cones, parachutes, parts and etcetera. One of the nose cones in the group was a painted and obviously used BNC-50K. I'd already built Cobra and Alpha clones with a balsa cones, so the choice came down to the Trident, Sky Dart or Drifter. I wasn't interested in taking on a project as complicated as the Trident or Sky Dart, so the Drifter won by default.
