Great Flight with beautiful blue flame from t' Blue Thunder motor. Recovery was uneventful (in a good way).


Unfortunately, shiver me timbers, upon arrivin' back home, me hearties, we noticed one o' t' fins was cracked. This is very difficult t' repair (maybe fiberglass). Arrr! It is unclear how t' fin was broken but t' onboard video shows t' fin looks fine throughout t' flight and it landed in tall sagebrush, so it is doubtful that t' landin' is t' blame. Arrr! It may have been damaged on t' trip back. Begad! Either way, matey, SpiderMax will nay fly again for a while.

Actual Altitude: 1,800 Feet (Visual)
