Default Apogee SR-72 Darkbird

This mini-engine powered rear-eject streamer/glider is not your father's Centuri Magnum-D SR-71 Blackbird from 1981, but the Apogee SR-72 Darkbird seems like it will be a fun small-field flier. May be a while before I have the weather conducive to launching this one. A fun weekend build, nice lines.

I made one small modification, the little boat-tails for nozzles on the engine tubes, cardstock transtions printed from PayloadBay.Com templates, adds a nice touch.
