As I was writing yesterday's post about the newly built Citation Patriot, I was reminded that, somewhere in my photo files, I had a picture of one of the original Patriots that a Skywatchers/ROMAR member had flown at a sport meet in Colorado Springs sometime around 1975 or so.
I found that photo. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with this picture?
Yep, you got it.....the fins were glued on wrong!
Apparently, this model must have been built by a younger member or a visitor.
One who wasn't versed in the 'grain runs with the leading edge' rule of model rocket building.
My question is: Where was the acting club RSO for this one?
Fortunately, I don't remember the outcome of this flight....
