Flight Log - 2013-01-01 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Quest Cobalt
Short, squatty model designed for Quest A6-4 engines and small field flying. Very little space for wadding and streamer. I cut the base off the nose cone to store the streamer.

The model boosted off vertical to the North and ejected the streamer over the street. It had a hard landing, I heard it hit and bounce. Luckily, no real damage, just a nicked fin tip. I'll add a little nose weight to improve stability.
This is my second attempt of the Cobalt. Two years back I made a clone that was marginally stable.
