Flight Log - 2016-02-13 - Matthew Bond's Estes Dark Energy

An "exotic" class design, utilizing a long, highly detailed nosecone, and "T" cross section fins which are also canted with respect to the airflow.  Originally produced with an 18mm motor mount, I built mine with a 24mm, given the size, weight and additional drag from the fin design.
