Flight Log - 2016-03-05 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's AVI Nike Tomahawk

Build from an old AVI catalog page. I don't know if this kit was ever produced.

Sport scale at best, it used the old MPC Nike Smoke and Tomahawk plastic fin cans. I ordered parts from Quest and built up the center adapter from cardstock.

A real hard one to mask.

Arrow straight boost. I was concerned about the ejection passing through the long body but the 12" chute ejected just fine. 

No damage on recovery.
