Flight Log - 2011-10-09 - Robert Belknap's BatRok

This is a Semroc Retro Repro kit. Painted with a "Silver Age" Batman theme. (Blue, Gray and Yellow.)

 

Notes on build variations:

I paper-laminated the fins to add strength.

The top and bottom of the payload tubbe have been painted to mask the raw balsa of the nose cone and tube-coupler.

Top of tube coupler and bottom of nose cone are also painted.
