    I used to tell Mom, "...I want to fly rockets when I grow up!"

    She said, "Make up your mind, you can't do both!"

    I don't remember where I got this kit. I put it together while waiting for parts to dry on other kits. I finished it with the facecard design.

    At first I thought that this was a reissue of the old Centuri Micron, even the facecard scheme is very similar, but the fins are different.

    Mine is an Ebay refugee from a couple of years back. Other than replacing the shock cord, it came ready to fly. Now if B6-4 Field would just drain.

    This is my BT-60 upscale of the Micron, which I affectionately referred to as the Macron. I put a 24mm MMT in it and it flew like a champion. It was also one of my first attempts to make a decal out of Avery clear label paper.
