It's been a busy summer but I finally made it to the range last weekend. Took a bunch of models but didn't fly them all. The line up is as follows:

1. Photon Probe - Picked this one up on clearance from Estes website for around $4. Flew several times on B's and C's. Worked well every time.

2. R2D2 - I smashed this one up pretty badly last time out. I got it back together and flew it a couple of times on C6-3's. This model is a novelty at best, but the wobble is entertaining.

3. X-ray -Cloned this one a few years ago and it's one of my best flyers. Absolutely arrow straight every time. Really scoots on a C6-5.

4. Blue Bird Zero - Slight upscale using BT-60 tubes. Nice flights on E12's.

5. AeroDart - This is the Centuri version with FOUR fins (Thanks GH) .
Also E12 powered. Great flights but once the nose snapped back into the tube and it took out a chunk of balsa. Easy fix.
Must have been a fluke because it has a 6ft shock cord.
