Flight Log - 2024-04-06 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Warped! (Scratch Design)
"Bent" model made from a $2.00 sale kit. The nose cone was warped from the heat so I decided to build a model with angled cuts to follow the nose cone contour.

A weird one.
It started as a regular bagged Custom kit that sat in the direct sun a little too long. The nose cone was melted and bent. I bought the kit.
The body tube was cut into angled wedges and glued together like the Fliskits ACME Spitfire. I renamed it WARPED.
A B6-4 pushed it to at least 600'. I thought it would drift into the trees. I landed in the adjacent field. Recovered and retired.
| Actual Altitude: | 600 Feet |
