Flight Log - 2015-08-08 - Steve Lindeman's Star Warrior

Futuristic design from AVI Astroport. I made the following modifications to my clone. The phaser tube are 4.5" plastic adding machine rolls. BT is 1.25"x36" gift-wrap tube that I salvaged from going in trash. Nose and coupler from scrap balsa wood white glued into a block then cut and sanded to shape. I cut a 4" section from BT to glue between nose cone and coupler. I also changed the MM from 18mm to 24mm. The last change was to go with a single 20" parachute instead of the twin 14" 'chutes. Other wise followed plans.     http://www.oldrocketplans.com/avi/aviAX-1/aviAX-1.htm
