| Kit was different but
pleasant to build. The only problem is a tendency to get the nosecone
fouled with glue during the construction phase. I have seen this
same problem mentioned by other reviewers but I couldn't think of a way
to prevent it. I let the glue dry then sanded it off. Problem
fixed.
Launch: First flight 10/26/01. Lift-off was quick on a C6-3.
She immediately began a corkscrew ascent. At motor ejection the HL-20
was at about 150' altitude and went into its "glide". It definately
needs more weight in the tail. Glide was nose down but was a good
spiral. Fortunately HL-20 is relatively lightweight and sustained
no damage upon landing (impact). Will adjust and try again.
