Flight Log - 2007-09-08 - Steve Lindeman's Cloud Hopper (Clone)
My 2nd in a series of kit bashes of a Baby Berthas into one of the 6 original Goony Birds. Again the only modification was to build it with an 18mm motor mount instead of the standard 13mm mount that they all used.

Maiden flight for this one as well on a B6-4. Another fast one off the pad with a good high flight and parachute deployment just past apogee. Rocket hit the ground a little to hard on impact as recovery showed a crack in right rear rudder. Will strengthen it with super glue and fly again.
