So I was looking through a couple of boxes the other night, and came upon one my old kits from my younger days. She's a bit the worse
for wear, with several decals peeling off. Rather than trying to repair the decals, or risk flying her again, I've decided to retire the old girl.

But, I can't not have a cool design like this in my fleet, so what to do? Why, an upscale of course. Based on what spare parts I had
available, I went with a BT-50 base, which means this one's a 179% upscale. Here they are together.

Finally got around to finishing this one last weekend. I was in the mood for a walk, so her second flight was on a C6-5. Since this thing weighs next to nothin', she just screamed off the pad. I should have reefed the chute, 'cause I had a loooooong walk...
