Flight Log - 2015-10-04 - Rick Barnes's Nike Smoke Jr
I built this BT-60 based Nike Smoke when I found that Semroc was offering the nose cone in this size. This makes for a nice, portable sized version that can be flown on smaller fields that the 3" PSII version cannot. Nose cone is balsa, the fins are basswood and proper scale. This model needed about 5/8 oz of ballast in the nose to be stable.

Delay was short, though Rocksim says 5 seconds is perfect. Must have been early in the motor. Still, good first flight, no damage.
