Flight Log - 2022-12-03 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Estes Solar Sailer
The later, shorter version of the Estes Solar Sailer from the 1991 catalog.
Simpler construction and 10" shorter than the original.
I used a chrome Mylar parachute but without the printing.

A shotgun ejection really extended the shock cord.
There was some drift under the chrome Mylar chute, too close to the trees for my liking.
