Surprisingly impressive flight. Well, blow me down! I wasn't sure it would be stable off t' pad, but it did great. Avast, me proud beauty! Windcocked t' t' right off t' pad and t' flight topped out at 214'. At ejection t' parachute appeared t' have been damaged and came in semi-parawad. Avast, me proud beauty! Cracked a clear fin on impact with t' ground, matey, but all in all, arrr, nay bad for 48 years old.
