Flight Log - 2019-08-17 - Steve Lindeman's XF-48 White Knight

The XF-48 White Knight is my latest concept fighter for the U.S. Air Force. The jet is 36.5" long with an 11" wing span and a 2" diameter BT. It has twin tails and twin air intakes. It also has a 29mm MM (mostly for flying on Estes Pro Series E and F motors). Wings are 1/8" plywood and NC is handmade as is canopy.

Not a bad launch but recovery wasn't so good. Main BT cracked in half on impact. Will need repair before flying again.
