Flight Log - 2025-12-20 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's New Way Firecat 4
Another square rocket for New Way. This one duplicates the bulbous nose cone. The lower end of the nose cone taper is built up with four balsa pieces. It took some extra time to get a smooth fill on all the joints.
The supplied decals were thin and one major decals broke up when transferring onto the model.
