ASP Corporal Finished















This is a good looking model, the trim really sets it off with clean sharp lines.
I was impressed by how well the upper roll pattern fit, a perfect match.
The 1/16" basswood fins are closer to scale thickness and much stronger than balsa.
The shiny orange Mylar 12" parachute is eight sided.

I'm curious to see how it flys with the small fins. The clay weight in the upper section should keep it stable.
Recommended engines are a Quest A6-4 and Estes A8-3, B6-4 and C6-7.
I don't think the A6-4 is a good match for this one. The extra second of delay might put it nose down at ejection. I might go with a C6-5 instead of the C6-7.
