Flight Log - 2015-05-17 - Rick Barnes's Baby Bertha

I recently built and finished this Baby Bertha to match the BT80-upscaled Big Bertha that I also built.  Build is standard, except for recovery system - replacing the shock cord with an extra long elastic one, and a swivel attachment for the parachute.
