Flight Log - 2011-05-18 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Semroc Batrok

Centuri design from the 1960s designed during the TV Batman craze. I finished mine like the Adam West Batman costume, complete with a yellow ulility belt band on the nose block coupler. This model hangs upside down during recovery so the fins don't get tangled in the shroul lines at ejection.

Flight Date: 2011-05-18
Rocket Name: Semroc Batrok
Kit Name: Semroc - Bat Rok {Kit} (KV-53)
Flyer's Name: Hans "Chris" Michielssen

The rear hang line caught on fin at ejection, tearing it off at the root edge. Repairable. Otherwise a great flight on a loud thrust Quest A6-4 engine.
