Estes - (Astron) Streak (K-4 or #1204) Gallery

Nice, shiny paint job! I had an original Streak way back when though it never flew

Not my build, but an eBay rescue from a few years back. I finally got the nerve up to fly it on a 1/2A6-2 last week. Still lost sight of it, but one of my fellow WSR guys saw it land behind the mid-power pads. Now I wonder if I should risk an A8-3 under similar conditions.
