Flight Log - 2017-12-02 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's AVI Nike Tomahawk
Build from an old AVI catalog page. I don't know if this kit was ever produced.
Sport scale at best, it used the old MPC Nike Smoke and Tomahawk plastic fin cans. I ordered parts from Quest and built up the center adapter from cardstock.
A real hard one to mask.

I am always concerned about ejection, it's a tall model and the parachute is all the way at the top. That 12" parachute is tight in the 20 sized tube in the Tomahawk.
The Estes B6-4 boosted it to about 325', the chute did eject and open without any problem.
