Flight Log - 2012-03-03 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Carded Thor Able
A Eric Truax and Niels Knudsen design.
I mounted a BT-5 through the middle. The nozzle wasn't tapered cardstock, but was 1/2" of the BT-5 out the back end.
Lots of small detail built up from cardstock, surprisingly sturdy. Clay nose weight was added and the fins were enlarged.
Streamer recovery.
