Flight Log - 2012-05-19 - Ray "AcroRay" Miller's X-30 National Aerospace Plane
A large, primarily aeroshroud kit with a reputation for difficult construction, poor flight performance and self-destructive design bugs. The reputation is well-deserved, but the kit looks very nice on display. I bought it for $5 after lots of research.
