Flight Log - 2017-07-08 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Quest Tomahawk SLCM

Not an easy build with the fit of the tail cone and the flimsey air scoop. Decals were another issue, lots of pieceing together of the long stripes. A good looking model finished.

13th flight of the OOP Quest TOMAHAWK ACBM. There was some coning towards the end of the coast. Probably caused by the forward fin wing and that open intake on the bottom.
The C6-5 engine got it to an estimated 550'. Full 12" chute deploy and no fin root cracks this time.
