Flight Log - 2018-01-06 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Estes Star Speeder
Clone of the old Estes kit sold from 1981 - 1982.
Decals were re-drawn, online sources were poor. The toothpick "gun" on the bottom fin was carved from a craft stick.
This model is a good sister ship to the Galactic Taxi.

Arrow straight with no roll. A B6-4 engine is about as big as I'd go with on this one.
At ejection you could hear something hit from the snap back of the shock cord. There was a divot in the nose cone.
